Public Experiences

First Thursdays

Visit us after hours! Spark your curiosity and creativity by exploring solo or with friends and family. From live music to visiting artist talks, experience the museum as a place of social, cultural, and artistic exploration.

Visiting Artist Series

In this series, renowned contemporary artists discuss their practices and projects as well as topics like how their identity informs their practice, advice for MFA students, finding inspiration, and memories of art experiences as a child. See all the upcoming visiting artist events on the museum events calendar. 

Art and a Movie

Art and a Movie dives into the intersection of art and film. Watch a film at IU Cinema, and enjoy special programming to learn more about the art, art-making, artists, collectors, and contemporary and historical topics relating to film. The film, gallery talks, and hands-on experiences in the Art and a Movie program are all free!

These programs are presented in partnership with IU Cinema’s Creative Collaborations program and are made possible in part by gifts from Marsha R. Bradford and Harold A. Dumes.
