Inspired by the Everson Museum of Art’s exhibition, Hoop Dream: Basketball and Contemporary Art, POST-UP will be a day filled with activities that explore the many subcultures of basketball — a phenomenon that is more than just a sport — but a worldwide sensation.
Join us to celebrate and explore these subcultures with local streetwear vendors, sneaker-making workshops, NBA2K video games, free haircuts, docent-led tours of Hoop Dreams, and more!
“Post-Up” is a double-edged term for basketball and street slang. Players use the term “post-up” to make themselves available to receive a pass near the net; it also means to claim a spot to hang out or sell merchandise.
