Third Thursdays
5-9pm
A new kind of night out, Gardner After Hours is live music, art, conversation, cocktails and more in an inviting atmosphere. Linger around the courtyard bar, listen to live jazz or sample a new small plates menu in the café. Experience something different each month – from informal gallery talks to contemporary performance to cutting-edge new music concerts – and spend time in the galleries exploring what the Gardner is all about.
