AFTER HOURS AT THE ART MUSEUM
JOIN US AFTER HOURS!
When the workday ends, the Art Museum comes alive with a fresh lineup of fun, educational, and entertaining experiences.
Our interdisciplinary public programs are tied to current museum exhibitions. With free admission to four galleries, explore the humanities holistically through film, dance, poetry, and music, and connect with like-minded individuals.
There is something for everyone at After Hours at the Art Museum!
