Bring a blanket, snacks, and a friend for a captivating evening at the Magic Gardens Museum! Tap your toes to a live performance by Tipsy Wicked, a duo who bring a fresh spin to your favorite tunes! Then, head over to our art tables to learn screen-printing from local artist Kristina Bickford! Make a small work of art or greeting card using a screen-print technique that allows you to apply small bits of different colors at once, which results in a surprising, swirling, vibrant design with every print pulled.

Attendees can also enjoy self-guided tours of our rarely-seen mosaicked basement, and can view our exhibition, “Viviendo a través de la muerte: Obras de Ivette Chaires/Living Through Death: Works by Ivette Chaires” in our galleries.

Tickets will be available starting August 14!
