Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies is on view through January 19, 2025. In her own words, Elizabeth Catlett discusses her approach to creating art in service of her people. “I work from dual necessities—social as well as aesthetic, political as well as physical, emotional as well as intellectual. Sculpture is my connection between nature and society. When I physically transform raw material—wood, clay, or stone—into an aesthetic expression of the life of my people, I feel complete as a human being.” Learn more: https://bit.ly/CatlettBkM

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves… We’re celebrating our 200th anniversary with an exciting, new look. The Brooklyn Museum’s updated visual identity reflects the vibrancy and innovation that have always been at the heart of who we are. In the coming year, you’ll see this blend of tradition and contemporary energy applied to the in-person experience, must-have merch from the Shop, a new website, interactive tours, a digital series highlighting the icons of our collection, and more! We’d like to say a special thank you to Other Means, a Brooklyn-based graphic design studio that was integral to our rebrand.
