"centers on innovative artists who reenvision tradition while building community."
The Brooklyn Museum will resume its free First Saturdays series on Feb. 7, 2026, opening the season with programming that honors Black History Month while celebrating art, music, performance, and education. First Saturdays takes place on the first Saturday of select months and began in 1988 as an experiment in expanding access; it has since become a widely recognized model that draws visitors across Brooklyn and beyond. Each edition centers themes tied to the museum's exhibitions and collections and emphasizes cultural heritage and community engagement. The Feb. 7 kickoff, titled "First Saturday: Imitate No One," honors poet Jayne Cortez with a Firespitters performance and contemporary poetry readings reflecting her legacy.
