Art After Dark: Student Opening

Thursday, September 17

6:00–10:00 pm

Art After Dark is back with its biannual students-only opening celebration, this time with Belgian symbolist art. To celebrate the fall exhibition, we’re offering an evening filled with art, games, live performances, food, film, and music to complement the themes and materials on display. The opening invites students to:

• Watch live performances by a capella groups, dance crews, and student musicians (Lineup: TBD)
• Try a variety of canapés and desserts
• Try your hand at a variety of Belgian games, such as the card game Wiezen (Whist), and board games Saboteur and GIPF 
• Make a work of faux stained glass for your dorm window
• Create a botanical print from fresh plants
• Etch a symbolist woodland scene on a silverfoil scratchboard
• Enjoy outdoor lawn games (including Kubb, a game popular in Belgium, Axe Throwing, Giant Yahtzee, Giant Connect Four, Giant Jenga, and Lawn Bowling)
• Participate in a scavenger hunt in the galleries for prizes
• Watch movies on the terrace
• And of course, be the first to see the fall exhibition, Shadows and Light
