Attendees from all walks of life came together to view 12 global artists’ masterpieces at the exhibition; ranging from toddlers, to recent college graduates, to seniors.

The sound of laughter, champagne corks popping, and a delicate live musical performance echoed through the hallway. As crowds were filling up The Push’s exhibition, many guests went on an adventure around the gallery, allowing everyone to enjoy the event safely.

 

The Push exhibition opening event created a unique and impactful ‘night at the museum’ experience that New Yorkers have longed for since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020.

The Push exhibition will continue throughout the AAPI heritage month from May 21 – June 3 from 12PM-6PM at The Highline Nine gallery –– located at 508 W 28th Street, New York. The Push will donate 30% of proceeds from art sales towards AAPI non-profits and AAPI small businesses.
