Every Second Friday

Art &

A new way to spend a Friday night.

Art & is the High’s new after-hours hangout, happening every second Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. Each month explores a new theme, pairing art with something you already love, from vinyl and fashion to myths and beyond.

Gather your friends or come solo and leave with new ones. Grab a drink, enjoy live music, make art, and hear a lively conversation between two unexpected experts who will change the way you see works from the High’s collection.

Art & launches Friday, November 13. Come curious. Leave inspired.

Every Third Friday

Friday Jazz

Don’t miss an evening of live jazz at the High every third Friday. Enjoy a drink and light bites, head to the galleries to explore the museum’s works on view, and join a docent-led tour for a detailed look at the collection. The event will feature two musical areas where musicians will play throughout the evening, layering notes and improvising melodies. Seating for Friday Jazz opens at 6 p.m. and is limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
