Each Late Night offers a variety of experiences, including talks by arists, scholars, curators, and special guests. All Late Night lectures are included in general admission to the Museum.
Late Night Lecture The 1920s ushered in a new physical type in American popular culture: young, urbane African Americans with a sense of style and self-confidence that radically departed from their more deferential and conservative predecessors. Dr. Richard Powell, the John Spencer Bassett Professor of Art & Art History at Duke University, surveys the range of "New Negro" representations that appeared during the era of the Harlem Renaissance in painting, sculpture, photography, and film, from sheiks to flappers, and from Paul Robeson to Josephine Baker. These programs are part of Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art. Special Event The recipients of the 2012 DeGolyer, Kimbrough, and Dozier awards will discuss their winning work, with a reception to follow.
