As we transition into the evening, the entire building will come alive with special performances from Washington, D.C.-based artists Crush Funk Brass Band, Tiktok cellist sensation Andrew Savoia, illusionist Alain Nu, the Haikuists and more, set within unique spaces throughout the exhibition. From illusionists to spoken word poets to brass bands, these performers push the limits of creative expression and welcome visitors to experience FUTURES one last time in a new, immersive way.
The Future of Dance Party: 7 to 11 PM
The grand finale, an indoor/outdoor neon-soaked dance party, begins at 7 p.m. Guests are encouraged to wear their most vibrant neon-best outfits inspired by FUTURES and dance the Wednesday away with DJ mOma. Special guests include ballerina, TED fellow, and award-winning robotics engineer Catie Cuan, June’s Futurist-in-Residence, debuting a new choreographed performance to inspire audiences to move their bodies in new and transformative ways (Due to COVID with the robot engineer team, the adapted performance will proceed without in-person robots.). The entire exhibition will be open late—one final chance to test, try, delight, debate the innovations and ideas on view. An out-of-this-world the balloon drop ends the night to send everyone off into the world renewed and ready for what’s next. Future-inspired cocktails and beverages will be available thanks to the expert mixologists at a cash bar.
