Schedule of Events

Ballet Florida

Ballet Florida performs an original work inspired by For the Record: Celebrating Art by Women. This solo work explores and reframes feminine constructs and cliches, reflecting on the exhibition and encourages the audience to reflect on gender-based inclusion, exclusion, and equity in the art world and beyond.

This performance will be repeated three times throughout the evening. Seating is limited.
