Yeah, we’ve got a few rules too:
• No large bags are allowed into the museum due to security reasons. If security deems your bag too large, they will require you to house your bag in a locker while at the event. Leave the duffels at home!
• ARTafterDARK’s maximum capacity is 2,000 guests. As the party approaches this volume, entry at the doors will be slowed if not shut off all together. We will let more guests in as other guests leave. Moral of the story—get here early!
