Join us for an evening that moves, inspires, and celebrates creativity in all its forms with FREE museum admission!
Delores Browne Abelson was a gifted ballerina, educator, and arts advocate who championed Indigenous artists through her New York gallery, “October Art,” where she created meaningful connections across art forms and communities.
This First Friday, celebrate the opening of October Art: The Collection of Delores Browne Abelson with special guest Tiffany Mellard — a performing artist, dance educator, and arts advocate visiting from New York City as she bridges dance, storytelling, and education to show how different art forms inspire one another. She’ll share stories from her dance journey, deliver a special performance, and lead a movement workshop (open to all ages and experience levels).
Make a night of it while you’re here! Explore newly opened exhibitions, browse artful reads at the bookstore, enjoy a drink from the Cantina while soaking in the evening’s creative energy, and celebrate art in motion this First Friday at the Heard Museum!
