No talking. No food and drinks. No text.

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 March, meet artist Celia Álvarez Muñoz and learn about her installation El Límite and how the Carter’s José Guadalupe Posada collection inspired her work.
