After Dark: Spark Your Curiosity

Spark your curiosity at After Dark! As the sun sets, we’ll hit the rainbow lights, turn the music up, and open our doors-an invitation to take your imagination out to play. Fuel up with a cocktail and prepare to roam free through six spacious outdoor and indoor spaces. Be ready to bring fresh eyes to old favorites and uncover phenomenal new experiences.

Please note: Food and drinks will be available to purchase in our Seaglass Restaurant and enjoy there or outdoors in Gallery 5 during After Dark.

Just for Tonight
Plasmatica with Coup de Foudre
Make glowing, ghostly forms dance at Plasmatica, an ethereal and electrifying work by the art collective Coup de Foudre. In these custom glass columns, a charged interaction between noble gases and electrically excited particles forms luminous filaments that jump, flow, and respond to your touch.

DJ Lady Fingaz from Hip Hop for Change
Get ready to dance your way through the night as DJs from Hip Hop for Change set the vibe and keep the party moving all night! Tonight features DJ Lady Fingaz. Fingaz is a skilled turntablist and member of the infamous Peaches Crew. She can be found rocking parties with Le Femme Deadly Venoms and Jazz Mafia all over the world. As a DJ, she mixes a variety of genres accompanied by an array of show-stopping turntablism and live production. This southern belle knows how to rock a party!

Hip Hop for Change is an Oakland-based nonprofit that uses grassroots activism to educate people about socioeconomic injustices and advocate solutions through hip-hop culture.
