Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will be closed Monday, May 13, to prepare for the visit of Antiques Roadshow. We will return to normal hours of operation Wednesday, May 15.

Don’t let the end of the day become the end of the fun at Crystal Bridges!

Come experience an evening of drop-in, creative fun under the stars with music, food, artmaking, and more. From light racers to shadow puppets on the South Lawn, we’re transforming the Art Trail into a glowing garden of light and imagination that’s fun for all ages.

Glow in the dark paint and artwork

Kick off the night with a one-of-a-kind sunset view at Skyspace, then mosey over to one of our themed artmaking stations to flex those creative muscles. Live music more your style? Be sure to catch one of our guest artists at one of several performance areas throughout the grounds. We’ll also have a pop-up concessions and bar area serving late-night snacks, sips, and brews for those wanting a little refreshment.

So grab your glow gear and come explore with us in starlit style—it’s sure to be a night to remember.

Free, no registration required.
