CELEBRATE IN STYLE

FRIDAY, JULY 12, 8 PM

Dress in your most creative attire for the red carpet and join us as we celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated Hilarie and Mitchell Morgan Theater with actor and singer Billy Porter, widely known for his Tony-award-winning performance in Broadway’s Kinky Boots and for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Pray Tell in the FX series, Pose.

PETER DAYTON: DARK GARDEN

Dark Garden by Peter Dayton is a site-specific installation created for Guild Hall’s stairwell leading from the lobby to the balcony of the Hilarie and Mitchell Morgan Theater. Dayton chooses visually arresting images of flowers without leaves and stems—images devoid of sentiment, emotion, or specific references—allowing the flower forms to create their own patterns.

WHITNEY WHITE + MAXIM POZDOROVKIN

As 2024 Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence, Whitney White and Maxim Pozdorovkin worked with a collective of performing arts and new media artists to develop their multi-media performance piece, The Case of the Stranger. While in residence, White and Pozdorovkin worked with curator and 2024 GH WPR AiR Thought Partner, Monique Long.

ERIC FISCHL: A DAY AT THE BEACH

Eric Fischl, mainly known for his large-scale, naturalistic images of middle-class American life, has created this interactive educational installation where the public is invited into the Boots Lamb Education Center during gallery hours from July 17 through September 1 to create their own “paintings” with provided precut magnetic figures—or make new figures—to develop compositions that play with changing perspective, narrative, and the history of painting.

WILLIAM P. RAYNER ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE: LOVID + MSHR

From March 8 through April 7, artist duos LoVid and MSHR realized their longstanding dream of recording and publishing an LP together. While in residence they created a vinyl 12” split picture disk including music recorded and edited at Guild Hall using their signature handmade synthesizers and visual content that appear as both album cover as well as supplemental visual materials.
