Last month, we were on the scene for the cocktail celebration at The Knickerbocker Hotel to see firsthand their commitment to diversity and the celebration of Black artists. This series was in honor of Black History Month, Brooklyn’s Bishop Gallery has curated the hotel’s inaugural exhibition, Young, Gifted, and IcoKnick.
During the evening we got an exclusive first look at the gallery, enjoyed light bites, beverages and the chance to talk to the artists – including accomplished multi-disciplinary artist Quiana Parks; mixed media artist Ronald Draper; masterful portrait painter Sophia Victor; and visionary Afro-Surrealist Tramel Blunt.
The IcoKnick Series exhibition is located in The Club Room on the hotel’s iconic St. Cloud Rooftop and will be open to the public daily, with the exception of during private events, now through April 2023.
Additional partnerships are to follow throughout the year as The Knickerbocker Hotel continues to bring diverse and dynamic artists to the forefront in The IcoKnick Series.
