Art After Dark, BMoA’s premiere after-hours art experience returns for its 11th year, with community art projects, live music, unique performances, and much more.

Join us as Art After Dark transforms the sculpture garden into a vibrant celebration of color, creativity, and of the LGBTQIA+ community. Stroll through the sculpture garden, greeted by community partners sharing resources and fun giveaways. Further down the path, you can grab a cocktail or mocktail, try your hand at our art project, grab a bite to eat, stroll our galleries, and settle in for live performances by some of the best drag queens around. After the queens slay the stage, DJ blaise closes out the night with a live set that’ll keep you dancing all night long!
