Special Event
Join us at the Muscarelle for special evening access on the first Friday of each month! Enjoy the galleries until 8 PM, along with live music, café specials, art-making activities and more. Bring a group of friends or make it a date night!
In May, enjoy jazz music from the Tony Mata Trio in the atrium and take part in art activities inspired by the art on view. Docent-led tours highlighting the Muscarelle Permanent Collection works on view will be offered at 6:00 and 7:00 PM.
This month, we’ll kick off First Friday with the Art History Symposium keynote lecture at 4 PM: “Matisse/Manet: Dialogue with the Dead” by Dr. Todd Cronan, Professor of Art History at Emory University.
All events are free and open to the public. Parking is free after 5 PM on Friday, so visitors may park in any of the lots adjacent to the museum.
