MoAD celebrates our dynamic arts & culture neighborhood in conjunction with Downtown First Thursdays. Join us every First Thursday of the month for free admission to the exhibitions and programming at the museum from 4-8pm.

‍

On November 6 from 6:30-7:30 pm, join musician and visual artist Mark Montgomery French for an intimate viewing of his ambient protest film, Thy Navel is a Goblet That Does Not Lack for Wine, from his album of the same name. This evocative work employs trance-like animations and sensory immersion to explore themes of meditation, resistance, and recovery, reframing Blackness as an origin, an expansion, and a liberation.

You will also have free access to our current exhibitions, UNBOUND: Art, Blackness & the Universe and Continuum: MoAD Over Time.
