Get into the groove with the energetic sounds of RuffHaus, a local favorite, performing a crowd-pleasing mix of classic rock, country, R&B, blues, Motown, and more—proving that just like art, music knows no boundaries.

🍹 ArtBar: A Pop-Up Bar Experience

Quench your (adult) thirst at ArtBar, our pop-up bar experience on the terrace. Indulge in a creative cocktail crafted especially for our 70th year, because who said mixing drinks couldn’t be an art form?

New Exhibitions:

Nona Hershey: In the Cloud

Imagery of clouds that play with the viewer’s point of view, combining elements such as weather forecasting imagery, rainbows, and color refracting in water, in addition to our thoughts and feelings being mysteriously transmitted through the atmosphere via cellular technology.
