Museum After Dark Special Events

THEMUSEUM is proud to host Waterloo Region’s original and premiere live art-making event. During this fundraising event, artists are invited to participate in a friendly competition, painting and creating art live in front of a live audience!

Guests will enjoy a drink while watching artists create artwork in front of their eyes during this fast-paced art-making competition. Throughout the night attendees will vote on their favourite paintings and have the chance to bid and take one home from our silent auction.

THEMUSEUM is a registered not-for-profit, charitable organization and puts on events like this one to fundraise to stay open, and offer fresh and relevant exhibitions and programming to this community. Each artist is donating their time to create the art, and THEMUSEUM and artists share in the silent auction proceeds (60/40). Along with the artists, guests support THEMUSEUM at the event through ticket sales, art sales, and drink sales.

Doors open at 7:00 pm, with the competition beginning at 7:45 pm, and ending at midnight.

This is an all-ages event, however, is not recommended for anyone under the age of 12. IDs will be checked for purchasing any alcoholic drinks.
