Admission includes after-hours access to special exhibitions, entertainment, and a free drink or menu item. Beer, wine, and light bites are available to purchase. This event is for adults age 21 and older.

Explore art from all angles in this guided tour of Generations: A History of Black Abstract Art. A trained docent will lead an interactive discussion that showcases the diversity of work by black artists from post-World War II to the present day.

Explore this groundbreaking exhibition of black artists from the 1940s to the present, including Norman Lewis, Alma Thomas, and Mark Bradford. Enjoy a curatorial tour before public hours, a related artmaking activity, and a discussion of classroom connections. Light refreshments will be served.

Experience a diverse range of artworks by female-identifying artists, including Mickalene Thomas, Candice Breitz, and Ellen Lesperance. Explore works in the galleries before public hours, create art, and find ways to connect the art to the classroom curriculum. Light refreshments will be served.
