The NBMAA's Museum After Dark parties are the museum's late night, get up and dance events. Tonight's event will be a classic Halloween party with cash bar, food vendors, VIP area, costume contest, photobooth, DJ, a Haunted Manor and garden installation by Grymm Studios, and much more. The event runs from 8:00pm to 11:00pm with two hour Volunteer shifts throughout the evening. Volunteers will help check-in guests, set-up decorations, help with vendor load-in, keep the museum tidy throughout the night, maintain the VIP craft station, and will be able to enjoy the event for Free after their Volunteer shift. Volunteers are encouraged to come in their own Halloween costumes if they would like to. As an art museum, many people get creative!
