Details

The Museum’s Midwinter Tunes features musical acts, visual artists, and community partners all hailing from Northeast Ohio. This year’s one-day celebration will be hosted across the Museum’s Bud & Susie Rogers Garden, Beatrice Knapp McDowell Grand Lobby, and galleries. Music, ice carving, a food truck, and festive lighting will add spark to the wintry skies outside, while community partner and vendor pop-ups and activities are bound to warm up the evening inside. The day will include a special celebration of the new exhibition Responsibility to Reveal: 30 Years of the Knight Purchase Award for Photographic Media with pop-up tours.
