Must be 21 or older to purchase tickets.

Have free run of the museum—after hours—at this artful celebration of Frida Kahlo, one of the most beloved, yet enigmatic, artists of the 20th century. Hosted by Kelli Lemon, with DJ Lonnie B back on the spin, this event offers guests exclusive access to the entire museum—including the special exhibition Frida: Beyond the Myth.

Celebrate Frida's work, and her birthday month, with live music, dancing, food, and drinks. Throughout the museum, experience art from around the globe, music, dancing, photo booth and selfie stations, and more. Art After Hours is one of Richmond's favorite events.

Your Art After Hours ticket includes:
1. Admission to the Frida: Beyond the Myth
2. Music, dancing, a 360 Photo Booth, and other entertainment
3. Light fare and a drink ticket
4. An exclusive opportunity to purchase a discounted VMFA membership
