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.
 
The evening features:

  • A high-energy lineup of Austin DJs
  • An open bar and late-night bites
  • One-night-only — discover and bid on artworks
  • Complimentary valet parking
