Pack a picnic and enjoy a live DJ performance by Still in Sound co-curator and multi-disciplinary artist Ben Coleman as you unwind from the week on the Museum’s outdoor forecourt! Join us on the final Friday evenings of June, July, and August this summer for a diverse showcase of musical talent. This free, family-friendly music series invites you to mingle, sit, stand, wiggle, and dance! Registration is not required.
Before, during, or after the show, step inside and explore the multisensory exhibition, Still in Sound.
Food and beverages will not be available for purchase at the event, so bring your favorite snacks and sips or stop by a local restaurant to elevate your picnic experience before the show. We will have a limited number of chairs available, so come early to snag a spot and kick off the weekend!
