Art Dinner Afterparty
Where Austin’s art world meets after dark.
Following Art Dinner 2026, The Contemporary Austin’s signature benefit, the Afterparty brings together artists, art lovers, creatives, and the culturally curious for an all-inclusive late-night experience under the stars at Laguna Gloria.
This year’s Lunar Laguna theme transforms the grounds into a starlit world of art, music, fashion, and dancing, with every ticket supporting The Contemporary’s exhibitions and education programs.
Constellate for a scintillating evening featuring DJ sets by returning faves Stefon Osae, Suxxy Puxxy, and Chorizo Funk, with KUTX's DJ Shani making her Afterparty debut. Magician Nicole Cardoza kicks off the evening with a special appearance.
Enjoy an open bar, access to the Art Dinner silent auction, and complimentary sweet & savory lunar bites all night long.
