First Saturday: Inkwells

Saturday, April 4, 5–10 pm

Ring in National Poetry Month with a global lineup of artists who draw on influences from ancient Egypt to contemporary Brooklyn. Featuring music, readings, art-making, talks, and more, the April edition takes its theme from the many inkwells in our encyclopedic collection, including an ancient example in Unrolling Eternity: The Brooklyn Books of the Dead.

Free; registration is required and includes Museum general admission. Tickets will be released on a rolling basis starting March 13 for Members and March 16 for the public. Sign up for the Brooklyn Museum newsletter to be notified of the next release.

The lineup is subject to change; revisit this page for the latest details. For accessibility accommodations, including ASL interpretation, email access@brooklynmuseum.org.

First Saturdays are supported by the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. Made possible by the Wallace Foundation Community Programs Fund, established by the Wallace Foundation.
