New York University's Grey Art Gallery and The Studio Museum in Harlem are co-presenting Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art, the first comprehensive survey of more than five decades of performance art by black visual artists. The exhibition, organized by Valerie Cassel Oliver for the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, will be presented in New York in two parts: Part I will be on view September 10 to December 7, 2013, at NYU's Grey Art Gallery; Part II will take place November 14, 2013 to March 9, 2014 at The Studio Museum in Harlem.

1pm: Gallery Tour: Robert Pruitt: Women
Enjoy an interactive and informative tour of Robert Pruitt: Women led by a knowledgeable museum educator. Robert Pruitt: Women includes nearly twenty large-scale conté drawings of black women. Combining elements of science fiction, hip-hop culture and comic-book graphics, each figure is at once politically charged, physically grounded and fantastic—a blend of willful self-determination and culturally conditioned myth.
2pm: Hands On: Faces and Masks
Take a look at the portrait drawings in Robert Pruitt: Women, and then join this workshop to create portraits using images of faces and masks, inspired by traditional and contemporary concepts of African masks and black culture.

1pm: Gallery Tour: Things in Themselves: Artists in Residence 2012-13
Enjoy an interactive and informative tour of Things in Themselves: Artists in Residence 2012-13, led by a knowledgeable museum educator. Things in Themselves presents the work of Steffani Jemison (b. 1981), Jennifer Packer (b. 1984) and Cullen Washington Jr. (b. 1972), the 2012–13 artists in residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem. Whether exploring fragile and delicate materials, developing a deeper understanding of painting or intuitively networking found materials and objects, the artists share a deep investment in the processes and techniques of making art.
2pm: Hands On: Art-making with The Laundromat Project
Join us for this special collaboration with The Laundromat Project, a community-based non-profit arts organization committed to making art more accessible. Work with a teaching artist to create a work of art inspired by the exhibitions on view in the Studio Museum's galleries. | |  | Trunk Show Season is upon us!
Please join us at the Museum Store as we launch our Trunk Show Season during October and November. The Museum Store will showcase the wares of nine artists and designers just in time for the holidays: Yumnah Najah Designs, Pashata's Cultural Designs, Montgomery, Afrodesiac World Wide, Rox Jewelry, Metal Fabulous, fiber artist Ife Felix, Black Buttafly Jewelry and Patricia Warrington.
The first round of Trunk Show shopping hours will be held Oct 11, 2013 - Oct 13, 2013 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM.
Pashata's Cultural Designs was established in 2003 by Patricia Smith, a licensed cosmetologist and cosmetology professor. Smith's earrings are handcrafted crochet and semi-precious stone creations with an Afrocentric influence, designed for women with a sense of spiritual and cultural awareness. After graduating from high school in 2010, seventeen-year-old Yumnah Najah spent the summer developing a line of jewelry that would fuse her love of both painting and bold, bright accessories. The jewelry line's signature is bold yet soft eye-grabbing pieces inspired by feminine prints and patterns. Her aim is to inspire the everyday woman to add a splash of spunkiness to her beauty routine. | | | | | | |  |
