New York, NY - When the sun sets on Saturday, May 3, the Brooklyn Museum won’t just be glowing with art—it’ll pulse with the energy of Black, Brown, and Asian professionals vibing, visioning, and leveling up together. “First Saturday: Friends and Family” is more than a cultural celebration; it’s a low-barrier, high-impact opportunity to tap into a community of ambitious creatives and career climbers in the heart of NYC.

Set against the backdrop of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, this free event brings together powerful art, dynamic music, thoughtful conversation, and interactive experiences from 5–10 pm. From the soulful sounds of the Oshima Brothers to the late-night set from DJ Mihoko, every beat invites connection. Whether you’re engaging in the American Art curator tour or networking in the Beaux-Arts Court’s Green Tile Social Club, the event’s design fosters both cultural appreciation and meaningful exchange.

Why does this matter to you, NYC’s rising class of dreamers and doers?
Because in a city where over 800,000 Asian Americans live and thrive (NYC Comptroller’s Office, 2022), cultural literacy is a networking edge. And events like this one open doors. You might meet your next business partner over hands-on art or spark a new creative collaboration during a Teen Talk. Here's one quick, game-changing networking tip: Ask people about what they're building, not what they do. It flips the conversation from transactional to transformational.

For readers of LEVELUP in NYC, this night is right on-brand. We curate experiences like this because we believe ambitious professionals in NYC deserve more than LinkedIn requests—they deserve real spaces to build their networks, increase their income, and scale their impact. First Saturday is your chance to do all three, while honoring heritage and history.

So—what are you waiting for?
