Friday Nights at the de Young | Fall 2018
One of San Francisco’s most celebrated after-hours museum events returns for a fall season of 2018.
These nine Friday Nights feature free admission to the main-level galleries highlighted by a reinterpretation of contemporary art in their permanent collection and new acquisitions called Specters of Disruption. In addition, Friday Nights will offer reduced-price tickets of $14 to the exhibition Contemporary Muslim Fashions from 6–8:30 pm.
Through social-media moments and in-person dialogue, visitors can engage and commune with the art and with one another in a warm and welcoming setting. Enjoy specialty drinks and mocktails, coffees, teas, and snacks. Bring your friends. Strike a pose at the selfie wall. Listen to music. Make art. Activities take place from 6–8:30 pm.
In concert with the exhibit: “Jewel City: Art from San Francisco’s Panama-Pacific International Exposition”, you are invited to a special “costume-friendly” Friday Night at the DeYoung. The theme is a visit to the Fair…through a Dark Garden lens. You are welcome to come in period perfect 1915 or any attire (corsets encouraged) that makes you feel “electric”.
Explore the eclectic, exciting atmosphere of the Exposition while enjoying entertainment inspired by a visit to the “Joy Zone”. Wear your own corset or don a Dark Garden original for a photographic souvenir. Dance to the sounds of electro swing and more while sipping scintillating spirits.
