The Museum of Modern Art will host The Armory Party, a benefit event with live music and DJs celebrating the opening of The Armory Show and Armory Arts Week on Wednesday, March 4, 2015.

The acclaimed singer Kelela will perform live at The Armory Party in MoMA’s Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. The American singer-songwriter released her debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me, in 2013 to critical praise. She served as the opening act on Solange’s 2013 tour and made two appearances on Solange’s 2013 album, Saint Heron. Alexis Taylor, of the band Hot Chip, will perform a two-hour-long DJ set following Kelela’s live performance. Three other DJ’s will perform sets throughout the night, including Ezra Koenig (from the band Vampire Weekend), E*vax (from the band Ratatat), and DJ Business Class (the 2015 Armory Show Commissioned Artist, Lawrence Abu Hamdan).

Previous performers include: Blood Orange, Gang Gang Dance, The Walkmen, Kate Nash, Neon Indian, and Solange Knowles.
