| The Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) 15th annual Solstice, the city’s most anticipated summer spectacular, takes place on Saturday, June 20, from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Celebrating long summer days and hot summer nights, Solstice combines music, art, dance, and fun for an unforgettable evening. Experience the CMA late into the night when galleries stay open, with flash talks presented by museum staff in select galleries, and visit the CMA’s ticketed exhibitions, Manet & Morisot and Martin Puryear: Nexus.
All-inclusive tickets—covering admission as well as unlimited appetizers and beverages, including beer, wine, and canned cocktails—go on sale for members at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22, followed by the public sale at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 23. This event is for guests 21 or older. Early ticket purchasing is recommended as this event is expected to sell out. This year, Solstice’s main stage is a vibrant celebration of North America’s multicultural mosaic. Cirque FLIP Fabrique (Canada) kicks off the outdoor entertainment on the museum’s south terrace with acrobatics performed on top of a retrofitted school bus. Then, live music sets from Daymé Arocena (Cuba), Son Rompe Pera (Mexico), and Nik West (United States) follow. These three electrifying musical acts showcase African diasporic party music, including Afro-Latin jazz, cumbia, and funk. NicNacc and Eso, two prolific Cleveland-based DJ’s famous for their monthly dance parties, take over the atrium. Projections, light displays, and decorations electrify the museum. |
