Speakeasy Noire is an intimate, speakeasy-inspired evening experience presented within IAAM's Season of Jubilee, designed to convene a curated community of cultural leaders, philanthropic supporters, and corporate partners in celebration of IAAM's anniversary and the Season of Jubilee. 

Rooted in atmosphere, conversation and connection, the evening blends music, storytelling, and shared experience within a refined, high-touch environment. Anchored by the Salon Marronage - a signature conversation led by Dr. Tonya M. Matthews - Speakeasy Noire creates space for reflection at the intersection of culture, history, and contemporary Black identity. 

Taking place on Thursday evening, June 18, 2026, at Charleston Union Station, the evening blends cultural dialogue, live entertainment, and meaningful connection, creating a distinctive platform for both visibility and impact.

Your participation directly supports IAAM’s mission, from exhibitions and programming to the continued work of the Center for Family History, ensuring these stories are preserved and shared for generations to come.

A limited number of tickets are available to maintain the intimacy of the experience. We hope you will join us for this meaningful evening.
