Nights at the
After-hours programming shows guests a different side of Miami’s top art institutions. By Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
DURING THE DAY, Miami’s museums are mild-mannered treasure troves of art, photography and sculptures. But after hours, the city’s cultural institutions come alive with evenings full of music, cocktails and dancing. (And, yes, even some art.) Here is where to head for a cultured night out.
PAMM Third Thursdays:
Poplife Social Pérez Art Museum Miami is home to 200,000 square feet of galleries and idyllic public spaces perfect for whiling away the day. Things change on the third Thursday of the month, when it teams up with event promoter Poplife to host a roster of indie acts. The exhibits stay open late (including Julio Le Parc’s showstopping “Form into Action”), but this is also your shot to soak up live entertainment and dance on the terrace. à 1103 Biscayne Blvd (
pamm.org). Feb 16, Mar 16, Apr 20, May 18 6–10pm; with $16 admission free.
