Venue: University of Arizona Museum of Art
Start Time: 5:00pm

This Halloween, University of Arizona Museum of Art is creepin’ it real with an Art After Dark fit for Spooky Season.

Kick off your All Hallows’ Eve with an art-inspired costume contest, Dia de Los Muertos-themed art activities, spook-tacular tunes played by a live harp ensemble, and so much more!

If you’ve got it, haunt it. Come dressed as your favorite artist, artwork or an artistic vision from your own imagination, then enter our costume contest for a chance to win a fa-boo-lus prize basket (hint: it includes a print by iconic Tucson muralist Danny Martin.)

Which better have my candy. You know we will! Not only will there be plenty of sugar on hand, there will be pizza too! Attendees can also enter a raffle for great door prizes like tickets to the Fox Tucson Theatre and free admission to the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures.

Wanna get crafty? Decorate your own calavera or add a panel to a community Papel Picado banner! Our campus neighbors will be onsite with activities of their own; create a print with the U of A RISO Club, and make a stained glass-inspired bookmark with the Center for Creative Photography.

Have a very harpy Halloween! We’re thrilled to have a pop-up harp ensemble performance by HarpFusion, featuring arrangements of spooky music by UA students — everything from Danse Macabre to Hocus Pocus!

  • 5:15 – 5:30p … First Harp Session
  • 6:15 – 6:30p … Second Harp Session
  • 6:30- 6:45/7p … Costume Contest

*Costume contest sign up available through 6:15p.
