A Night Out with the Hixson Equity Collaborative

The Hixson Equity Collective is excited to invite you to a night of culture, good company, and pizza!

We'll be checking out St Louis Art Museum's temporary exhibit "The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century." This exhibit dives into the sweeping art history of hip hop culture and its many expressions across the globe. Admission is FREE on Fridays! The exhibit stays open until 9pm, giving us plenty of time to soak in the creativity and inspiration.


When: Friday, December 8

Time: 6:00 PM

Where: St Louis Art Museum. We will meet there!

After taking in the exhibit, we'll head over to In Da Loop, a Black-owned pizzeria on Delmar, to share our thoughts on the exhibit.


Don't forget to bring your Hixson students! Hixson staff are welcome to attend!


It's going to be a night filled with art, community, culture, and good vibes. We can't wait to see you all there! Click here to save this event to your calendar.
