Harvard Art Museums at Night

Join us for an evening of art, fun, food, and more! This event is free and open to everyone.

Bring your friends to mingle in the Calderwood Courtyard, chat over a snack or drink at Jenny’s Cafe, browse the shop, and of course, wander the galleries to take in our world-class collections of art, all set to the smooth sounds of Boston area DJ Charles Azagra.

Check out creations by jewelry maker Rina Young who will be in the museum shop. Tours will be available in the galleries throughout the evening. Lamplighter Brewing Co is the featured local vendor, along with delicious Mediterranean parfaits from Arlington’s Magic Bites, available for purchase in the courtyard.

Stop by the Materials Lab, play with flowers, and experience nature anew, as part of Spring – an interactive projection celebrating the end of winter. Created by Devon Bryant; assisted by Susan Berstler and Josh Widdicombe.

Explore the exhibitions From the Andes to the Caribbean: American Art from the Spanish Empire and A World Within Reach: Greek and Roman Art from the Loeb Collection on Level 3, and the newly opened public art installation Bosco Sodi: Origen on level 1.

After you’ve browsed the galleries, circle back to see what’s happening in the courtyard.

Harvard Art Museums at Night usually takes place the last Thursday of every month, from 5 to 9pm.

Each night features a new mix of local talent and community partners to make this a festive occasion for all.
