FREE DAY – “Alex Katz: Theater and Dance”March 21, 2026 | 10 AM - 5 PM
FREE and Open to the Public
◆◆◆ Celebrate dance, theater, and technical artistry during this special free-admission day for the exhibition Alex Katz: Theater and Dance. For this day only, visitors can experience the exhibition at no cost. ◆ Performing arts and visual arts come together as one in this exhibition, the first comprehensive exploration of Katz’s playful and inventive collaborations with choreographers, dancers, and members of avant-garde theater ensembles over six decades. The exhibition, organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Colby College Museum of Art, showcases rare archival materials, major sets and paintings, and previously unexhibited sketches from more than two dozen productions.
In addition to presenting a range of works by innovators across the performing arts and poetry, it spotlights 16 productions on which Katz and choreographer Paul Taylor collaborated. The works displayed explore their creative partnership that resulted in some of the most significant postmodern dance of the 20th century. Viewers experience Katz’s singular creative sensibility and his spirited, iterative approach to theater and dance design and enjoy fascinating crossovers between the artist’s studio and the stage.
◆◆◆ Families can also enjoy Family ArtVenture: Backstage, a free day of creativity and performance-inspired activities across the museum, with dancers, storytelling, shadow-puppet theater, and hands-on artmaking inspired by “Alex Katz: Theater and Dance.”
