We are excited to present a walkthrough of the reimagined galleries at Boston Skinner! Coffee will be provided.


We will view Unsung Makers and the New Americana which is comprised of works from two upcoming auctions, Modern & Contemporary Art and Americana. In this exhibition, Bonhams aims to honor everything that is great, wild, and wonderful about American fine and decorative arts. In choosing the artists and makers in this exhibition, the team at Bonhams Skinner wants to highlight the voices that shaped and continue to shape our art and culture, especially those BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ artists underrecognized for their genius.

Boston, MA | Curator-Led Tour of “Portia Zvavahera” with Ruth Erickson

September 10, 2025 | 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Gather at ICA Boston for a guided tour of Portia Zvavahera with Ruth Erickson, Barbara Lee Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs!


Portia Zvavahera (b. 1985 in Harare, Zimbabwe) draws from her dreams to create layered paintings that evoke moments of transition and transcendence. For the artist, the act of painting is akin to an act of worship. Across her work, Zvavahera engages deeply with the African Pentecostal and Indigenous Shona traditions in which she was raised, illuminating the centrality of dreams, ancestors, and revelation to both belief systems. The artist merges painting and printmaking techniques to conjure worlds glimpsed in her dreams, where figures commune with spirits, and protective comforts and nightmares collide in stirring unions. Culling from an array of sources ranging from the angels and demons of medieval European devotional art to the vibrant patterns of Zimbabwean textile designs, Zvavahera constructs what the art historian Tamar Garb has described as “a unique and porous pictorial world.”  For the ICA, her first solo museum exhibition in the U.S., Zvavahera is presenting a selection of recent paintings centered on the theme of animals, considering how they populate her work as well as the collective imagination.

ArtTable thanks The Armory Show and catering partner Cultivated for their generosity in welcoming us this year.

About The Armory Show: In 1994, four New York art dealers had the ambitious goal of creating a new art fair to support their artists and attract global attention. They succeeded. The result was a groundbreaking cultural moment that has become vital to the New York art market and beyond. While much has changed over the years, our ingenuity and ambition have not. The Armory Show is a galvanizing force in the art world and essential to New York’s cultural landscape.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tours of “Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron” & “Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings” at the Morgan Library & Museum

July 9, 2025 | 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

We are excited to present two back to back curator-led tours at the Morgan Library & Museum! Curator Allison Pappas will lead attendees on a tour of Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron at 12:30pm, followed by a short break. After the break, Claire Gilman will lead attendees on a tour of Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings.

Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron explores the path-breaking career of photography’s first widely recognized artist. Cameron (1815–1879) was born in Calcutta (modern day Kolkata) to a French mother and an English father; in 1848, with her husband and children, she moved to England, where her sisters introduced her to the elite cultural circles in which they traveled. Residing on the Isle of Wight, where she was close neighbors with the poet Alfred Tennyson, Cameron acquired her first camera at age 48. In only eleven years she would create thousands of exposures and leave an enduring image of the Victorian era as an age of intellectual and spiritual ambition.

Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings is the first comprehensive museum presentation of the artist’s drawings. Incorporating drawings from the early nineties to the present and including sketches and finished studies, the exhibition will feature a wide range of her explorations with materials including work in graphite, pen, Conte, pastel, charcoal, distemper, monotype, gouache, watercolor, acrylic and ink on paper. It will chart Yuskavage’s career-long inquiry into how process and material experimentation create entirely new ways to find images. From her earliest drawings of imagined figures and still lives, through a period of investigation into what constitutes a model, to her recent studio and landscape scenes synthesizing the real and the imagined into a new kind of fictional reality, Yuskavage’s drawings give insight into the way we see and comprehend the world. Within the jewel-like space of the Thaw Gallery, the exhibition provides an immersive experience, allowing the viewer to enter the artist’s mind.

New York, NY | After Hours Reception and Tour of “Amy Sherald: American Sublime” at the Whitney Museum

June 4, 2025 | 6:15 pm – 8:30 pm

External view of the Whitney Museum

ArtTable invites you to a special evening at the Whitney Museum of American Art!

Join us for an after hours reception in the Whitney’s Trustee Room, which features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson and the High Line. The reception will include wine and light bites.

After the reception, join us for a guided tour of Amy Sherald: American Sublime and Louise Nevelson’s Collection View.

Amy Sherald is a storyteller. She creates precisely crafted narratives of American life, selecting, styling, and photographing her sitters as the foundation for her nuanced paintings. Thus, while Sherald (b. 1973; Columbus, Georgia) bases her works on specific people, they are more than traditional portraits. They center everyday Black Americans, compelling in their individuality and extraordinary in their ordinariness, inviting viewers to step into Sherald’s imagined worlds. In this exhibition, paintings of such ordinary Americans join her iconic portraits of First Lady Michelle Obama and, heartbreakingly, Breonna Taylor, to produce a resonant ode to the multiplicity and complexity of American identity. 

Louis Nevelson had a long and deep relationship with the Whitney Museum, which organized her first retrospective in 1967. Today the Museum is one of the largest repositories of her work, with over ninety sculptures, drawings, and prints in the collection, many of them gifts of the artist. The works gathered in this exhibition, which span four decades, offer a special opportunity to shine a light on this self-proclaimed “architect of shadows.”

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe” with Alexandra Schwartz

May 20, 2025 | 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Inside Saya Woolfalk: Empathetic Universe

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe at the Museum of Arts & Design, led by Alexandra Schwartz, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design.

The first retrospective of the artist’s two decades of world-building installations, the exhibition showcases Woolfalk’s ambitious fictional narrative of an imagined race of women known as “Empathics.” Woolfalk has created for the Empathics’ their own distinctive visual imagery, symbolism, and folklore, which reflect her investigations of African, African American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling.  In this parable told through garment-based sculptures, video, paintings, works on paper, and performances, cultures mix, clash, and are ultimately transformed through shared understanding.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets” at the American Folk Art Museum

May 13, 2025 | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Artwork by Madalena Santos Reinbolt

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets at the American Folk Art Museum, led by Valérie Rousseau, PhD, Curatorial Chair and Senior Curator of 20th-Century & Contemporary Art.

Featuring 42 textile works and oil paintings, Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets is the first comprehensive survey of Santos Reinbolt’s art ever presented and marks the first-ever solo museum exhibition for the artist organized outside her native Brazil. Best known for her large-scale embroideries made from hundreds of vibrant colored threads, which the artist referred to as quadros de lã (“wool paintings”), the exhibition represents more than half of all known works by the artist and examines the artist’s work through a variety of lenses, including gender, race, and socio-economic dynamics.

A Head Full of Planets explores the context in which Santos Reinbolt’s artistic practice crystallized in the early 1950s, after she became a live-in cook for the architect Lota de Macedo Soares and her partner, the American poet Elizabeth Bishop, at their home in Petrópolis, a mountain getaway favored by Brazilian high society. It was not until the mid-1960s, while working in another household, that she began to dedicate herself to embroidery and would begin creating many of the works for which she is best known today.

Click here to read more about the exhibition and this mysterious yet extraordinary artist, as well as a recent artnet article about the exhibition and Dr. Rousseau’s curatorial process.

The American Folk Art Museum is fully accessible. Gallery stools and wheelchairs are available upon request, and an access ramp is available to enter the upper gallery if needed. If you require additional accommodations, please email us at [email protected].
