EXCLUSIVE: Brooklyn Museum’s 2024 Artists Ball to Honor Titus Kaphar

Visual artist and filmmaker Titus Kaphar will be the honoree at Brooklyn Museum’s 13th annual Brooklyn Artists Ball on April 9. Kaphar, who has a deep history with the Brooklyn Museum, will be honored for his impact on contemporary art as well as his activism. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions at the museum, including “The Legacy of Lynching: Confronting Racial Terror in America” in 2017; his seminal work, “Shifting the Gaze” (2017), is housed in the museum’s permanent collection, and he has a piece in the current exhibit “Giants,” which features works from the collection of Alicia Keys and Kasseem Dean (aka Swizz Beatz). An installation by Kaphar on view as part of the museum’s exhibition “Giants: Art From the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys.” The Artists Ball is the museum’s largest fundraising event of the year and includes a cocktail reception in the lobby followed by a seated dinner in the Beaux-Arts Court. Last year’s honoree was Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior’s creative director of women’s haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories; Dior returns as lead sponsor of this year’s gala. As previously revealed, the fashion house will unveil Chiuri’s pre-fall 2024 collection at the Brooklyn Museum
