Have free run of the museum—after hours—at this evening of cross-cultural discovery that includes two special exhibitions. This artful celebration of American Dreamin' is hosted by Kelli Lemon, with DJ Lonnie B back on the spin. Guests get exclusive access to the entire museum, including American, born Hungary: Kertész, Capa, and the Hungarian American Photographic Legacy and A Long Arc: Photography and the American South since 1845. Savor images, tunes, and flavors of iconic 20th century regions, from the American South to some of the cities most shaped by newcomers. Throughout the museum, experience art from around the globe, music, dancing, photo booths, selfie stations, and more. And don't miss the Martini Bar presented in partnership with local distillery Cirrus Vodka and featuring Cody Dunavan, named one of the nation's top bartenders by the United States Bartenders Guild. Art After Hours is one of Richmond's favorite events. Act now—Art After Hours sells out quickly!
