Harvard Art Museums at Night

Harvard Art Museums at Night is an evening gathering centered on the exhibition *On Location: Drawing the Outdoors*. Visitors can explore the galleries, socialize in the museum’s Italian-inspired courtyard, enjoy food and drinks from local vendors, and listen to music by DJ C-Zone. The program also includes a Spotlight Tour, a hands-on art-making activity, prizes, and opportunities to browse the museum shop.

The Materials Lab activity is inspired by *On Location* and is presented with programming support from Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum. The series is part of ArtsThursdays, a university-wide initiative supported by the Harvard University Committee on the Arts, with WBUR as its media partner.
