Join us for Everybody’s a VIP, a fundraising party for the exhibition Summer Mixtape Volume 1: the Get Smart edition, featuring a night of dance-able music spanning hip-hop, electronica, old school, orchestral beats, down beat and a MySpace mashup. Bring your people!

Exit Art’s summer exhibition, Summer Mixtape Volume 1: the Get Smart edition, opens on Thursday, July 24. Drawing on influences from hip-hop and popular culture, the exhibition seeks to evoke the appropriated, personalized essence of the mixtape. Summer Mixtape features 27 up-and-coming artists from the greater New York area and works that range widely in theme and medium, mirroring the diverse sights, sounds and cultures of the New York streets. The exhibition, curated by Exit Art’s Associate Curator, Herb Tam, and Assistant Curator, Lauren Rosati, will also feature a jukebox with mixtapes produced by the artists and some special guests.

Summer Mixtape Volume 1: the Get Smart edition is the must-see show in New York this summer. Continuing Exit Art’s tradition of exposing new artists, this show is both an exhibition of some of the hottest in New York and a platform for twilight performances, dance parties, and mixtape listening sessions. Join us in celebrating the start of summer with a Summer Mixtape fundraiser to keep the beats going.
