Art Dinner Afterparty 2024

Every year, we host one of the most anticipated events of the gala season, Art Dinner, an unforgettable evening celebrating the powerful impact of art in our community.

Table sales and proceeds from the night raise critical support for the museum’s groundbreaking exhibitions and award-winning education programs. Additionally, artists participating in the Benefit Art Auction can receive up to 50% of the proceeds from their artwork sale, demonstrating The Contemporary’s ongoing commitment to supporting working artists.

This year we we want to extend the welcome to you for our first-ever Art Dinner After Party. Indulge in spirited decadence with a pop-up bar by Garage. Hit the dance floor with live sets by J’cuuzi and DJ SuperNova of Pangea Sound. Glimpse the future with palm readings by Sister Palm and tarot card readings with Austin Tarot Therapy. Become a living, breathing work of art with live body painting by Fabian Alejandro Diaz. Imbibe specialty cocktails like espresso martinis by Luna Espresso. And keep the party vibes going with Dolce Bacio Gelato and RESTART CBD + THC treats.

Coming to the Afterparty supports the museum’s critical mission of supporting art in our community.
