Join us for our 8th season of Friday Nights at the de Young every Friday until November 23, 2012. They are after-hours art “happenings” (5:30–8:45 p.m.) that include a mix of live music, dance performances, film screenings, panel discussions, lectures, artist demonstrations, special performances, hands-on art activities, and exhibition tours. Each evening has a unique theme and ties in with the special exhibitions and permanent collections at the de Young. Local artists conduct drop-in workshops, debut new commissions, display their art in the Kimball Education Gallery, and take part in artist/curator conversations about the creative process. The café offers a delicious Friday Nights menu and specialty cocktails, and the observation tower is open until 8:15 p.m. Artist Fellows, Artists-in-Residence, curators, scholars, and arts educators all play an active role in making Friday Nights an engaging museum experience for all.
