Experience an adults-only evening of art and music that emulates the mysterious and world-building work of artist Ali Banisadr. His intricate abstractions and colorful brushwork set the tone for a night of after-hours exploration amid the pulsating sounds from DJ Tysonious Mink.

The arts come alive with live ceramic sculpting and painting by local artist Ethan Fielder, tarot card readings with Jessica Miller, and original typewritten poetry from Gio’s Typos for guests to take home. Enjoy a cocktail from the cash bar and savor small bites before sinking into the sweeping landscapes of Banisadr’s epic works.

Enhance the occasion with an exclusive sommelier-led wine tasting from Book + Bottle in the Marly Room, featuring a selection of bold, expressive wines thoughtfully curated to complement our special exhibition. This activity is available as an additional ticketed add-on.

Bringing together the past and the present, this unique event promises to be a magical, mystical summer evening.

In conjunction with the special exhibition Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist.
