Kehinde Wiley one of the most significant African-American painters exhibited 6 of his unique paintings.

British artist Tracey Emin who was a guest speaker at this year’s event shared some of her poetry. She had a soft and sweet persona which revealed a hint of rebel attitude every now and then. 

The opening night is dominated by Bass Museum. This year’s solo exhibition was by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm who interacted with viewers by inviting them for a drink. 

AE District Gallery held a special exhibition by Reebok featuring photography by Jonathan Mannion, Jay Z, Rick Ross, Kanye and Mos Def.
