EDGES OF AILEY

Whitney Museum of American Art

January 30th, 2025

Join ALIX to experience a historic moment in time with a private tour of Edges of Ailey, an exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. It is the first large-scale museum exhibition to celebrate the life, dances, influences, and enduring legacy of visionary artist Alvin Ailey.

Presented in two parts at the Museum, Edges of Ailey features an immersive exhibition in the Museum's expansive 18,000 square-foot fifth-floor galleries, showcasing works by over eighty artists alongside groundbreaking archival material. We will be guided through rarely seen archives, including performance footage, recorded interviews, notebooks, letters, poems, short stories, choreographic notes, drawings, and performance programs and posters gathered from Ailey’s archives.

Alvin Ailey (1931–1989) was a pioneering African-American choreographer and the founder of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT), one of the most influential and widely admired dance companies in the world.
