National Gallery Nights

Thanks for a great season! Stay tuned for future National Gallery Nights events.

The East Building comes to life in this popular after-hours program. Join us for themed evenings with music, live performances, artmaking, pop-up talks, and more.

Due to the popularity of National Gallery Nights, and to give everyone an equal chance of attending, we offer registration through a lottery system. The lottery takes place the week before each event. It opens on Monday at 10:00 a.m. and closes Thursday at noon. We notify all lottery entrants whether or not they were selected to register the Friday before each program.

Additional passes are available at the East Building entrance—first come, first served—starting at 5:30 p.m.
