Join Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) on Thursdays for an evening of community, live music, art-making activities and more. During the museum's weekly Thursdays at PAMM series, guests can enjoy performances on the waterfront terrace and happy hour specials at Verde. Inside the museum, take a tour, explore new exhibitions, peruse permanent collection galleries or participate in creative activities with local artists. Live music and activations on the terrace are free and happy hour runs from 5:00–8:00 p.m. Tickets are required for entry into the museum.

Here’s the upcoming lineup of activations:

Set in PAMM’s Learning Theatre, it’s a rare opportunity to build your skills from an extended live model session in an inspiring museum setting.
