Night/Shift

NIGHT/SHIFT: Yes, And

Thursday, Oct. 9 | 5–9 pm

Let your intuition lead the way at Night/Shift: Yes, And, where the spirit of improv—collaboration, communication, and building on the moment—push us to unexpected places. Guided by local artists, we’ll ditch the script and dive in for a night of spontaneous creativity. Whether you break into the action or cheer from the sidelines, say “Yes, And” to explore the interplay between process, product, and performance.   

In the galleries, discover how artists push the boundaries of photography in More is More. Uncover the story behind Wrapped Walk Ways. Flow into a current of inspiration in Water Embodied. 

Check back Sept. 15 for the full schedule of events and experiences.

Guests participate in a craft activity around a table in The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art's Kirkwood Hall.
