No talking. No food and drinks. No dogs.

Come break the rules and say “yes!” to new art experiences at the Carter’s Second Thursdays! Each month you’ll find something different than the last—mingle with fellow art lovers, make art, and meet visiting artists, sometimes with live music and always with themed cocktails inspired by the Carter’s collection.

In November, bring your best friend (pup or person) for an evening of PAWsome activities on our Plaza crafted with your canine in mind. Enjoy a special outdoor movie screening, delicious fare from local food trucks, hands-on art making with a Carter Community Artist, and a Lady Liberty costume contest for pups. Every activity is designed to be dog-friendly, so your four-legged companion can join in the fun from start to finish.

Enjoy drinks, custom cocktails, and mocktails. Carter members get one complimentary drink! Food is available for purchase from the food trucks Lucky G's Bistro and The Snowy Churro Texas, which will be located on Lancaster Avenue.
