It’s finally here!
Today is the pub date for “BODYWORKS: The Jewelry of Art Smith,” the definitive book on the highly influential mid-century modernist jeweler.
Congratulations to authors @jhypp and @toni.greenbaum , who bring to light historical photos, never-before-published design sketches and newly commissioned photos of his work.
The book has a total of 160 photos. The images of his work on models taken during his lifetime are my favorite.

The first book event is Thursday at @mocada_museum !

📣🎉 It's official. KREOL FEST (@kreolfest) has finally entered the chat!
We're just 7 days away from the 3rd annual 3-day artistic and cultural celebration dedicated to the vibrancy of Creole cultures around the world.
The brainchild of curator and musician Natie (@natiemusic), the festival is bringing together artists and audiences to explore the intersections of heritage, identity, and creativity within the Creole world through live performance, food, language, and visual arts.
The theme --‘Lo Sakré --“The sacred is not a boundary, but a deep union between the living and the invisible.”
This year’s edition of the intergenerational program focuses on how artists engage the sacred as an active force that connects memory to the present moment and supports collective ways of imagining the future.

Schedule:
Friday:
Opening ceremony with open jam session and comedy + Bites by Kit’n’Kin
Saturday:
Conference on “what does creole mean?’ – marketplace – live performances: words from Jamaica to grooves of New Orleans
Sunday:
Conference on the connections between Haitian and Black American history – workshops – live performances bringing together Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico
WHAT: Kreol Fest 2026: Lo Sakre

MoCADA is honored to have curated the first art piece created by an African artist to be on view at Gracie Mansion!
The art work, which was curated by MoCADA's Executive Director and Chief Curator, Amy Andrieux (@missaimstar)., is entitled "Voices of Peace" by Ugandan artist Sanaa "The Bead King" Gateja (@gatejasanaa_official). It's a beautiful tapestry made of hand-rolled beads, which was on view at Gracie Mansion from September 2-30. Originally, this piece was first curated for BAM DanceAfrica (@bam_brooklyn) earlier this year in May.
Big love to Karen, Emma (Gracie), Noah, Katie, Emma (Karma), the Mayor's Office, Gracie Mansion Conservancy @graciemansionconservancy, and Karma Gallery (@karmakarma9) for helping to make this happen.
Diaspora to the world! ❤️🖤💚 #africanart #africandiaspora #sanaagateja

🌟 Art Smith (1917–1982) was a highly acclaimed jewelry pioneering artist whose extraordinary avant-garde creations pushed the limits of modernism from 1946 to the early 70s. As Smith’s artistry grew, so did his association with some of this country’s most prominent Black artists including James Baldwin, composer and pianist Billy Strayhorn, Lena Horne (who wore his jewelry), and Harry Belafonte. He has been called a star of the modernist jewelry movement.
To celebrate his contributions, legacy + the launch of "Bodyworks: The Jewelry of Art Smith", the definitive book on his artistic practice, the authors -- Joanne Hyppolite, curator at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and jewelry historian Toni Greenbaum -- will share stories and new research that illuminate Smith’s remarkable life, artistic vision, and enduring influence. Sebastian Grant, curator, art historian, and professor at Parsons School of Design in New York City, will moderate the conversation.
