The Broad Toasts a First for Mickalene Thomas

On May 23, the Broad Museum helped Mickalene Thomas ring in a career first with the opening festivities for “Mickalene Thomas: All About Love.” The show, which will later reach London’s Hayward Gallery and the Barnes Foundation, is Thomas’s first international touring exhibition. In keeping with the magnitude of such a monumental career moment, the museum partnered with Dior to stage opening-night festivities that included a DJ set by Linafornia, and a dance performance by Getting Better Every Day, choreographed by Thomas’s cousin Indigo Pascall. Notable attendees included Isolde Brielmaier, Law Roach, Aurora James, Lauren Halsey, Catherine Opie, Jeffrey Deitch, Yara Shahidi, Derrick Adams, Shantell Martin, Shaun Ross, Quinta Brunson, and more.
