Thursday, February 16th, the San Diego Museum Of Art’s next installment of their popular sundown series travels to ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) with an evening inspired by the newly installed “Arts of Iran” and “Arts of South and Southeast Asia” galleries.

This night is way more than just a gallery viewing, it’s packed with live music, munchies, signature cocktails and best of all –  interactive and engaging activities of awesome scale. We highlight just a few of them here:

  • Find inspiration in the geometric Iranian motifs featured in the galleries to create your own mosaic choker necklace or cuff bracelet
  • Add your personal flair to a collaborative sticky note mural, and enjoy a “Darius the Great” signature cocktail crafted by award-winning distillery Papa’s Pilar
  • Don’t miss the Radiant Human photo experience to take home a photographic interpretation of your aura
  • Purchase a t-shirt at the event and let a SnipTease Clothing artist create a custom design for you onsite
