Program Description

Event Details

First Thursday Gallery Hop is an exciting evening to enjoy art in downtown Yonkers. All of the galleries will be open and restaurants will be offering a 10% discount on food and drinks.

Opening Reception for Breathe in the Sky, a solo exhibit featuring the photography of
Hasna Muhammad, the daughter of renowned civil rights activists and actors, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.

Her parents' activism provides an important context for Muhammad's work that spans over many years, capturing intimate memories with family, alongside monumental historical events. Muhammad was taught that dreaming was insufficient and that it was her duty, alongside her family, to take action if she truly wanted to invoke and see change.
