Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Host an Elegant Opening-Night Gala for Their Art Exhibition in Atlanta


Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz hosted an opening-night gala in Atlanta, where their traveling 'Dean Collection' art exhibit will live until January.

This past Friday, September 13— Swizz’s birthday — saw the launch of the second stop on the tour in his second hometown of Atlanta, where it can be seen at the High Museum until January 19, 2025. The term “giants” references the size of many of the works — which easily cover a museum wall — and gives props to the featured 37 artists of color, ranging from legends such as Gordon Parks and Jean-Michel Basquiat to modern icons like Kehinde Wiley and new visionaries. His grandfather was an amateur photographer and had a darkroom in their family home; Swizz was also fascinated by the graffiti murals on the subways as well as the hip-hop music that blared from speakers in the parks, from apartment windows and cars that drove through the neighborhood.
