The Studio Museum in Harlem’s Spring Luncheon Honors Ming Smith

On April 28, the Studio Museum in Harlem welcomed cultural leaders, art-world luminaries, business leaders, and philanthropists to its annual spring luncheon. This year’s occasion honored Ming Smith, an artist whose current “Projects” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art was organized by the Studio Museum’s director Thelma Golden. The luncheon also celebrated the institution’s education programs, including one that explores photography through the lens of Harlem’s rich history. The afternoon began with a cocktail hour at the Mandarin Oriental before Golden spoke and presented Smith with a gift. Notable attendees include Glenn Lowry, Turiya Adkins, Renee Cox, Daniel McKinney, Tschabalala Self, Mickalene Thomas, Nicola Vassell, Jasmine Wahi, and more.
