The Edges of Ailey exhibition at The Whitney Museum celebrates the life and work of choreographer and activist Alvin Ailey, whose revolutionary artistry reshaped American dance and culture. Featuring over 80 artists, the exhibit weaves together archival materials, photographs, visual art, and live performances to explore themes of Black spiritualism, southern influences, and the impact of Ailey’s peers. Highlights include personal artifacts, iconic performance footage, and tributes to Judith Jamison, Ailey’s long-time principal dancer. Running from September 25, 2024, to February 9, 2025, the exhibit captures the essence of Ailey’s belief that making dances is an act of joy, progress, and celebration. Student tickets are available for $24 with a valid student ID, and adult tickets are $30.
