The San Diego Museum of Art, the region’s oldest, largest and most visited art museum, provides a rich and diverse cultural experience for almost 250,000 visitors annually. Located in the heart of beautiful Balboa Park, the Museum’s nationally renowned permanent collection includes Spanish and Italian old masters, South Asian paintings, and 19th- and 20th-century American paintings and sculptures.
In addition, the Museum regularly features major exhibitions from around the world, as well as an extensive year-round schedule of supporting cultural and educational programs for children and adults. On Thursday, February 23, The San Diego Museum of Art will be hosting a Culture & Cocktails Night, an evening where east meets west.
From 6-10pm, drink in the delights of the orient, and relax to the zen-like tunes of DJ Scott Roberts. Drawing inspiration from the Museum’s newest exhibition Dyeing Elegance, models will be painted with patterns that mimic textile designs…and if you are up for it, artists will be present to paint designs onto you as well! A Keshot projection photo booth will record the night on film and Lion Dancers will help celebrate the cultural that contributed to the works in Echoes of the Past. Because this is a cocktail event, attendance is strictly 21 and up and ID’s will be checked at the door. Members will be able to experience this event for free and non-members will have to pay a $15 cover.
The fun doesn’t end at 10 however, from 9 to midnight, there will be a Culture & Cocktails After Party. The Sculpture Court Café will be transformed into a Temple of Delight where you will be able to enjoy cocktails, bites, and dance music. This continuation event will be free with main event C&C admission (capacity permitting- first come, first in). Must show hand stamp from main event at the door.
