 Hello. We're live from Brooklyn. My name is Lauren Celia. I'm the director of public programs at the Brooklyn Museum here in Brooklyn, New York. And we're so excited that you're joining us tonight. And for those of you who have come out for over 21 years to celebrate art and community in Brooklyn at our first Saturdays. We appreciate you. If you're joining us for the first time from around the world, welcome. We hope you can visit us in Brooklyn soon. Just to give you guys a heads up. All the artists that we invited tonight, we initially invited to celebrate our special exhibition, Studio 54 Night Magic, which we hope you'll come back and see when we reopen. And this is an exhibition celebrating the history of New York's and probably the world's most legendary nightclub. So there's a lot of great outfits and a lot of great visual culture and we hope you'll come back to the museum when it reopens. But tonight you're going to notice a lot of disco and soul and funk infused art making and performances. Before we get started, I wanted to thank the entire team at the Brooklyn Museum who made this possible. And of course, a special thanks to all the Brooklyn artists who are some of the most creative, resilient and generous people that I know. So thanks for rocking with us tonight. And last but not least, we want to send some love to all the essential workers who are tuning in and holding it down on the front lines. Love to our healthcare workers, maintenance workers, transportation workers, postal workers, grocery store workers, all of you guys who are really keeping our city and our country and the world going and keeping all of us safe. So you can interact with us all night long. My team and I are going to be with you on the chats. So if you have questions about the art making, you can catch up with us there. And we're going to be recording tonight's show so you can check back on social media with us next week and we'll be sharing out a link. So are you guys ready. My name is Vicks Archer and I'm a fellow in public programs. I want to take this moment to give a huge thank you to all of the staff holding things down at the museum right now. In particular, our maintenance, operations and security teams. I want to shout out Jim, Nat, Jenny, Afeisha, Lisa, Chef Andy and Bree in particular for all the work they're doing in this moment. I also want to give a shout out to great performances, the team that runs our restaurant and cafe for stepping up and turning their kitchen over to help feed thousands of elderly people and hospital workers in our community. We are so grateful for the work that you do. Hi, I'm Jim Kelly. I'm the director of operations and facilities management and I welcome you to virtual first Saturday.
