BMoA's Art After Dark Celebrates PRIDE

Join us as Art After Dark transforms the sculpture garden into a vibrant celebration of color, creativity, and celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. 🌈💗

You'll stroll through the sculpture garden, greeted by community partners sharing resources and fun freebies.

Further down the path, you can grab a cocktail or mocktail, try your hand at our art project (suncatchers), grab a bite to eat, and stroll our galleries. Then, get ready for a drag show filled with fierce performances, killer choreo, and queens who mean business!

After the queens take the stage, DJ Blaise closes out the night with a live set that’ll keep you dancing all night long!

Food for purchase by Smash N Grab, Strawberry Dream Factory, Get It Twisted, The Paleta Company, and Bakersfield Pizza Co.

Cocktails and Mocktails by Tiki-Ko and Centro Cali

Performances by Sasha Reign Dupree, Ayla Divas, Alexander the Queen Divas, Violet Divas, Phoebe D Monroe, Simona Moore, and Heart D. Vermillion.
