Ghost Stories in the Galleries

Ghost Stories in the Galleries: A Night of Creative Writing and Sketching

Tuesday, October 27 from 6–8 PM

Ages 16+ only / Free to attend

*Must arrive at 6 PM to fully participate in guided experience.

Step into the galleries after dark for an evening of spooky storytelling inspired by the art on view. Let the artworks guide you as you dream up ghostly tales and eerie sketches inspired by what you see. Using our prompt sheet, you’ll build a story piece by piece — following your ghost as it moves through the museum. We’ll provide writing and sketching supplies, along with prompts to spark your creativity during this guided experience. Costumes are welcome, but must follow museum guidelines.
