On Tuesday evening (April 25), the Brooklyn Museum continued its celebration of innovative artists with the 12th annual Brooklyn Artists Ball.
This year’s event, which was made possible by Dior, honored multidisciplinary artist and visionary Carrie Mae Weems. The co-chairs included Creative Director of Dior Women's Maria Grazia Chiuri (who was last year’s honoree), Regina Aldisert, Henry Elsesser, Marley B. Lewis, Janet Mock and Carla Shen.
The night included a bevy of events, beginning with a cocktail hour where guests took in the inspiring artworks that Mickalene Thomas created for the event. Thomas (who was previously featured in EDITION’s debut print issue in 2021) drew from the scenography she recently created for the backdrop of Dior’s latest Haute Couture show.
