AVAM After-Hours: Fall Fan Takeover

About this event

As the stars twinkle to life, join fellow American Visionary Art Museum Fans for after-hours adventures in our shiny happy Main Building. Wander through our galleries at your own pace, including our newest major exhibition, Flaunt: When Appearance Speaks . Gain insights from one of our friendly docents, giggle at the Flatulence Post and fun-house mirrors, and indulge in guilt-free holiday shopping at Sideshow.

Upstairs, sip on mulled cider or tea with cozy snacks in our charming Café and bemuse yourself by viewing the incredible Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness whirligig by artist Vollis Simpson from our Whirligig Terrace, then taking a deep dive into his life through our virtual viewing party!

Fan Club Members, here’s a glimpse of the After-Hours magic awaiting you:

• Wander through our artwork in serene tranquility

• Enjoy a 20% discount in Sideshow (double the usual discount!)

• Experience live music drifting through the stairwell

• Delight in autumnal snacks like a pastry platter from Vaccaro's, mulled cider, or tea in our Café... plus a limited-edition Fifi mug available for purchase

• Watch our Vollis Simpson Virtual Program with other Fans

Don’t be in the dark… join your Fan friends at AVAM After Hours and have a zen moment before the holiday season!
