Award winning Caribbean alternative soul singer Nhojj will appear at Brooklyn Museum's Target First Saturdays on January 7, 2012, as part of a celebration honoring the LGBT community. Among the songs he will perform are LGBT favorites "Adam & Steve" and "He & Him."

Known for his musical artistry and LGBT affirming lyrics, award winning Caribbean soul artist Nhojj will kick off the festivities. Seating is limited, and people are advised to arrive 30 minutes early for Nhojj’s 5 p.m. show.

Thousands of visitors enjoy free programs of art and entertainment each month from 5 to 11 p.m. at Brooklyn Museum’s Target First Saturdays.

The Nhojj “Out and Proud” performance coincides with HIDE/SEEK: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture, the first major museum exhibition to explore how gender and sexual identity have shaped the creation of American portraiture. The special exhibition will be on display at the museum through February 12, 2012.
