Celebrate long summer days and hot summer nights at the museum’s 15th annual Solstice—a night when art and music come together. Cirque Flip Fabrique (Canada) kicks off the outdoor main stage entertainment 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. The galleries stay open late into the night, and some of them host flash talks presented by museum staff. In addition, guests can experience the CMA’s blockbuster exhibitions, Manet & Morisot and Martin Puryear: Nexus. NOTE: The CMA closes at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, and opens at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 21, due to Solstice. Our south doors are temporarily closed from Thursday, June 18, through Monday, June 22. Please use the main entrance when entering and exiting the building during those days. Provenance Restaurant is closed on Sunday, June 21. As a safety precaution, visitors pass through a metal detector upon entry to the event. See a complete list of museum policies.
