The AFTERPARTY
Saturday, September 20 • 6:00 - 10:00 pm

When the lights dim, the energy rises. The AFTERPARTY is where art meets celebration in a spectacular fusion of music, movement, and inspiration. Featuring over 150 original artworks in the Silent Auction, this high-energy night includes cocktails, dancing, a live DJ, and musical performances that turn the museum into a vibrant cultural playground. It’s a night to connect, discover, and support the arts in a setting unlike any other.

A Legacy of Access: Why Your Attendance Matters
This isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a catalyst for change. Proceeds from Art Auction fuel the Long Beach Museum of Art’s year-round exhibitions and its award-winning arts education initiatives. At the heart of these programs is a vital partnership with the Long Beach Unified School District, where each year, more than 5,000 fifth-grade students participate in free museum field trips that include immersive gallery experiences and hands-on art workshops led by professional teaching artists and museum educators.

When you attend Curator’s Cut or The Afterparty, you’re not just investing in a memorable evening; you’re investing in the future. You’re helping us ensure that creativity remains a right, not a privilege. You’re becoming part of a legacy that believes every child deserves the chance to see the world through a creative lens and to make their mark on it.
