National Gallery Nights: Art Under the Stars

National Gallery Nights in the East Building

Lottery opens Monday, November 3, at 10:00 a.m. and closes Thursday, November 6, at noon.

After the sun goes down, our East Building comes to life with music, art, and dance. This is your chance to see a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition after hours. The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art—the largest display of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art ever shown outside Australia—inspires our evening. Immerse yourself in the sounds and vibrations of the didgeridoo. Weave your own textiles inspired by works in the exhibition. Then, come up to the Roof Terrace to enjoy modern masterpieces under the night sky.

This program series is made possible by a generous grant from The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation.

Programming is subject to change.
