BLACK DANDYISM IS MORE THAN WHAT WE WEAR. IT’S HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE SEEN. 🖤

The artist call is open for Black Dandyism and the Art of Becoming, an upcoming exhibition co-curated by The MUSE•eum and artist Antoinette Cauley.

We’re inviting artists across disciplines to explore Black identity, style, self-expression, and the freedom to define ourselves on our own terms.

Painters. Photographers. Fashion designers. Sculptors. Poets. Performers. Cultural storytellers.

What does becoming look like through your art?

We want to see your perspective.

🗣️ARE YOU READY!

🖤 THIS FRIDAY: VILLAIN ORIGIN STORIES

Friday, October 23 | Phoenix Center for the Arts

Centered.PHX returns with an evening of live storytelling exploring the complicated moments that shape our identities, relationships, and reputations.

We’re talking betrayal, boundaries, heartbreak, survival, questionable decisions, and the moments that made us say, “You know what? Fine. I’ll be the villain.”

Our storytellers are preparing to share their perspectives, and we want you in the room to witness them.

Because the point isn’t to decide who’s right or wrong. It’s to remember that people are rarely as simple as the stories told about them.

Two symphonies. Two financial crises. Both facing roughly $10 million in financial needs. In Nashville, Oracle stepped in with a $10 million rescue. In Phoenix, the music is about to stop. Now, Ive been saying culture is infrastructure. But what happens when corporations become the emergency funding system keeping that infrastructure alive? And if they're the ones writing the checks, who's conducting the culture?

Theres a difference between saving the music and sustaining the people who make it.

🖤 EVERY VILLAIN HAS AN ORIGIN STORY.

But what happens when you’re the villain in somebody else’s version of events?

Maybe you stopped being the bigger person.
Maybe you chose yourself.
Maybe you finally said no.
Or maybe you did exactly what they said you did. 👀

There’s always more to the story.

On Friday, October 23, Centered.PHX invites you to Villain Origin Stories, an evening of live storytelling exploring the moments, decisions, betrayals, and circumstances that changed how we see ourselves and how others see us.

Because sometimes the villain isn’t who you think it is.

And sometimes? The villain has a point. 😈

BLACK DANDYISM AND THE ART OF BECOMING.

SAVE THE DATES | MAY 14 – JUNE 12, 2027

Black culture is not seasonal. Black art doesn’t need a commemorative month to deserve space. And Black identity has never been limited to how the world expects us to show up.

The MUSE•eum (Muse) x Antoinette Cauley (Antoinette Cauley) present Black Dandyism and the Art of Becoming, a multidisciplinary group exhibition at Alwun House (Alwun House) featuring Black artists from across Arizona.

More than fashion, Black dandyism is a practice of self-authorship, challenging expectations around race, gender, beauty, and belonging while reclaiming the power to decide how we are seen.

For one month, we’re bringing Black art and culture to life through exhibitions, storytelling, workshops, artist conversations, and community experiences.

The building may still be on its way, but the institution is already being built.

📍 Alwun House | Phoenix, AZ
🗓️ May 14 – June 12, 2027

“Think about what you’re asking me to give up. I’m home. My bra might already be off. The air conditioning is doing exactly what I pay it to do. I have food. I have streaming. I have my phone. I don’t have to find parking. Nobody is going to ask me what I do for a living. I don’t have to make small talk. And if I want a cocktail, the bartender knows exactly how I like it because the bartender is me.

Now tell me why I’m leaving.”

It feels fitting to begin our second season with a woman who understood that storytelling, art, community, and organizing aren’t separate practices. They are ways we build culture together.

Come watch. Come learn. Come gather.
