Don’t let the end of October creep up on you! The Harvard Art Museums are offering plenty to do as Halloween approaches. Be sure to join us next Thursday evening for Harvard Art Museums at Night, and show up wearing your best Dragon’s Blood Red outfit for a chance to win a prize!

Frightful Night

Reserve your spot today and join us for a special Halloween-themed Harvard Art Museums at Night. We’ll be highlighting the pigment color Dragon’s Blood Red, from the museums’ famed Forbes Pigment Collection! Come dressed in your best macabre red and enjoy fright-themed activities for a chance to win a prize, mingle in the Calderwood Courtyard, and kick back with friends to the (eerily) smooth sounds of DJ C-Zone.

Curator Spotlight

Our very own Horace Ballard, the Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., Associate Curator of American Art, is included in a recent Boston Globe article by Cate McQuaid featuring four recently hired or newly promoted curators in the New England area. Read on to see how the museums are shifting to a more community-friendly library model and more!

Zombie Train

Get into the spooky season and watch the popular zombie thriller Train to Busan, set on a bullet train in South Korea, on Sunday, October 30. What is even more thrilling is that the Screens for Teens film series is free for all!

TV Art

Join us on Friday, October 28 for an Art Study Center Seminar with curatorial fellow Kyle Stephan. She will survey new acquisitions by German artist Wolf Vostell, one of the first artists to incorporate television into artworks. Register here for your spot in this workshop.

From Our Friends: Our neighbors down the street at the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture will be hosting a Day of the Dead Family Fiesta on Saturday, October 29, from 1 to 4pm. Celebrate the day with crafts, scent stations, traditional decorations, Nahuatl stories, and more!
