In case you were wondering about that orange glow coming from the March gallery at 62-64 Avenue A between Fourth Street and Fifth Street...
Inspired by the juke joint — informal social spaces for music, dance and community — the latest exhibition at March brings together works spanning 1939 to 2022, highlighting both the visual language and cultural significance of these now-vanishing spaces.
Rather than memorializing juke joints, the show seeks to capture their energy and influence, as well as the broader need for places where people can gather outside the routines of everyday life.
The exhibit officially opened last evening... and will be here through June 20.
Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
