Art After Dark

You’re invited to the haunted mansion! Please come dressed in your spookiest and fanciest Victorian outfit. Prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third place finalists at 7:15 pm in the garden. 

Please note that costumes must not cover the face, props are limited to 12 x 12 inches, and this event is family-friendly.

Step into the shadows with the Teen Collective for a chillingly creative still-life drawing workshop! Surrounded by eerie objects and haunting setups, you'll sketch your way through the spooky season in this drop-in studio session. All materials are included.

Choose a Docent Tour of either Highlights of the Collection or Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection.

Tours are limited to 20 visitors. Pick up your tour wristband at the Reception Desk one hour before the tour.
