Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Host an Elegant Opening-Night Gala for Their Art Exhibition in Atlanta
The attendees wore suits, gowns, sleeveless suit jackets, cocktail dresses, hoodies, Timbs — one person even sported a cape. It was “Come as you are, but be fly” on Friday night at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art where the power couple of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats unveiled their exhibit, “Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alica Keys,” which will have a five-month residency in the city. Rappers Lil Baby and Killer Mike, artist-songwriter-producers Jermaine Dupri, The-Dream, Sean Garrett and Mike Will Made It, DJ/former MTV VJ Ed Lover and Roc Nation Executive Lenny Santiago were among the attendees.
“This is a representation of breaking out of all boxes — busting through all ceilings,” Keys said to the audience from the DJ booth. “Knowing we are completely unlimited, free to fly. Thank you to our ancestors for bringing us here today. We’re standing on their shoulders. Without them we couldn’t even be standing here.”
