Thursday evenings, which run from 5 to 9 p.m., will celebrate Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene, providing an after-work destination for friends to connect during the week. On Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., visitors can enjoy special site-specific performances and art-making activities. Local food trucks will be on-site for visitors to grab a bite to eat.

Those who come on the series’ opening day will receive free museum admission from 5 to 8 p.m. On Thursday, July 20, visitors will receive free museum admission from 5 to 8 p.m. during the Summer Exhibitions Celebration, a party inside and outside the museum honoring the season’s exhibition-featured artists and artwork with music and performance, community, and conversation.

The season closes on Saturday, Aug. 19 with Inside Out Night, a 21-and-over party under the stars that will turn Sculpture Court into a dubstep discotheque
