LACMA After Dark – No Parents Allowed

Untitled (The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories) © 2011 Tim Burton
As part of its Arts For NexGen, a free youth membership program, LACMA presents After Dark.  Teenagers are invited to come experience the museum for a night of art, food and music sans the parentals. 

Museum security and staff will chaperone the event as teens explore LACMA's latest exhibitions, Tim Burton at the new Resnick Pavillion.  The Tim Burton exhibition features over 700 works by Burton including drawings, storyboards, puppets and costumes, plus hundreds of never before exhibited works. 

Teens can dance to a live DJ under the stars in the company of topiaries inspired by Burton's Edward Scissorhands.  Teens are encouraged to dress "burtonesque," wearing something that reminds them of their favorite Burton movie.

Admission is free, but teens should have some cash for the taco bar featuring $2 meat or veggie tacos. 

This event is for middle and high school teens only; no college teens, no parents.  Teens can be dropped off and picked up at the Urban Light installation on Wilshire Blvd (pic below).  The event is from 8pm - 10pm, but early arrival is welcomed as the regular museum hours are 11am - 8pm on Saturday.
