Saturday Salons: In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat

Following the Saturday evening performances of In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat, join multi-hyphenate Tony Award nominee Daniel J. Watts (Lights Out! Nat King Cole, The Refuge Plays) in a continued celebration of Basquiat’s life and legacy. With music, spoken-word and his singular practice of painting with his feet while he dances, Daniel and his special guests will bring the party to 4th Street!

The special guests include extraordinary artists Sage Gallon, Ari Grooves, Joan Morgan, Lee Quiñones, Michael Thurber and Tiana Webb-Evans.
