After Hours
After Hours is an evening event that invites the public to explore our galleries and exhibitions after dark. The program celebrates art through a unique fusion of music and creativity in a relaxed social setting. Participants gain after-hours access to the museum space to engage with art in a new light.
Attendees can participate in hands-on art activities inspired by our diverse People Collection and current featured exhibitions. The event features live musical performances and interactive stations throughout the galleries. Guests will have opportunities to engage with creative processes while viewing art in a quiet and contemplative atmosphere. This programming provides a fresh perspective on our ongoing installations.
This event is designed for art enthusiasts, students, and anyone looking for a creative night out. Whether you are an experienced artist or a casual visitor, you will find inspiration among the displays. The environment is welcoming, professional, and built for exploration. We invite you to join us for an evening of artistic discovery. Please mark your calendars and prepare to experience the museum beyond standard operating hours.
