For Friday’s Late Night, we wanted to make sure we engaged all of the senses, giving visitors an immersive experience at the DMA. There will be many programs to stir your senses of sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch.
To tempt you to stay out late, I have highlighted one program for each of the five senses.
SIGHT
Visit our Flora Street Entrance and our Sculpture Garden to see vivid outdoor installations representing color, pattern, and movement created by The Color Condition.
SOUND
Experience the physicality of sound with a newly commissioned performance by New York artist Kevin Beasley. BLACK ROCKER will premiere at the DMA as part of the inaugural SOLUNA festival.
TASTE
Our Lounge @ Founders will tempt all of your taste senses with something salty, sour, sweet, and bitter.
SMELL
Families can stop by the exhibition Between Action and the Unknown: The Art of Kazuo Shiraga and Sadamasa Motonaga and check out a Sensory Art-to-Go Family Tote Bag. The tote bags are filled with a variety of activities, such as imagining how a work of art would smell and then writing a poem about it.
TOUCH
While you can’t touch the art, you can stop by the Art Spot in the Center for Creative Connections and make your own work of art using a variety of materials.
We hope you’ll join us on Friday to see what else is in store!

That looks very good.
It is fun and games at the DMA. Some people just like to look at art.
