The following excerpt was sent out from The Washington Post:

The Washington Post today announced “Style Sessions,” its new series bringing the spirit of the Style section to life through conversation, in partnership with the Rubell Museum DC. Inspired by the Style section’s recent relaunch, the exclusive events highlight designer Ella Emhoff, and visual artist Mickalene Thomas, featuring Q&As with notable Washington Post reporters.

“We relaunched our historic Style section keeping in mind that our reporting extends beyond screens,” said Ben Williams, Executive Features Editor at The Washington Post. “Events like ‘Style Sessions’ are part of our dedication to bring this beloved cornerstone of The Washington Post into a new era.”

The “Style Sessions” event series is the latest immersive feature format showcasing newsmakers on the front lines of culture from the iconic, award-winning Post Style section. The series is also the first to be featured in the Rubell Museum DC, the city’s newest contemporary art destination which opened last October. “Style Sessions” events include:

• Ella Emhoff will speak with fashion critic Rachel Tashjian on November 30
• Mickalene Thomas will join critic-at-large Robin Givhan on December 14

“Style Sessions’ are an intentional commitment by two Washington institutions to bring art and reporting to life,” adds Phoebe Connelly, Director of Next Generation Initiatives at The Washington Post. “Spotlighting these influential artists in the backdrop of the city’s greatest contemporary space emphasizes our ambition in creating agenda-setting experiences for our audiences.”

Limited tickets will be available two weeks before each “Style Session,” with priority access for Style Memo subscribers and Rubell Museum DC members. You can subscribe to the Style Memo, or become a member at the Rubell Museum.
