With inspiration drawn from concurrent exhibitions Henri Matisse and Modern Art on the French Riviera and Shopping in Paris in the Perelman Building, all things French will enliven the evening, including exciting performances, innovative art stations, festive food, and extraordinary art.

Art After Dark celebrates the Museum, education, and you, a new generation of art lovers committed to connecting with the Museum’s collections, programs, and learning opportunities. Your participation in Art After Dark helps maintain and expand educational opportunities at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Museum relies, now more than ever, on the generous support of many donors who make it possible to offer early-childhood initiatives, a series of programs for teens, distance learning for classrooms across the nation, art history lectures, concerts, and studio art classes, as well as special access to the collection for people with a broad range of disabilities—including audio descriptions for the visually impaired, sign language interpretation, and outreach programs to nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. Through these varied programs and a mission to bring more art to more people, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a national leader in arts education.
