The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative and BAM co-present the Rolex Arts Weekend with Spike Lee, Phyllida Lloyd, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Carrie Mae Weems, and their protégés Kyle Bell, Whitney White, Agustina San Martín, and Camila Rodríguez Triana. The multidisciplinary arts festival presents two days of public conversations and world premiere events—including performances, a film screening, and a multi-media art exhibition—in celebration of the latest cycle of the Rolex Arts Initiative.
Since 2002, the Rolex Arts Initiative has paired highly gifted young artists from around the world with great figures in their fields, enabling a dialogue across generations, cultures, and disciplines and ensuring that the world’s artistic heritage is passed on personally, from artist to artist.
