Gallery Crawl NightLife

Back by popular demand—an inspiring night of art and science!

The Academy’s African Hall will transform into a pop-up art gallery featuring the likes of Paint Pens Collective, a low-brow, contemporary art community and ArtSpan, a locally-based organization with a mission of connecting the public to art through community outreach.

Plus, view art curated by up-and-coming Artbeats presented by The Midway, a Creative Complex, Warholian, and Slayers Club.

At the Project Lab, Academy scientific illustrators will show you how their scientific drawings are used to document specimens from our collection—you never know just what they’ll doodle!

In the Piazza, groove to the bass-heavy sounds of the Slayers Club DJ collective. Want to get your creative juices flowing? Show off your drawing skills at a sketching station upstairs in our new Skulls exhibit.

21+ Event, ID required for entry.

Note: The 4-story Rainforest exhibit closes at 7:45pm and planetarium passes are distributed to visitors on a first-come first-served basis. Special programs and lectures may have limited seating and admission will also be made available to visitors on a first-come, first-served basis.
