Third Fridays, 5:30 pm
The aim of the Slow Art movement is to break with the often frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Slow Art at the Modern invests in this pause with a 30-minute spotlight tour focusing on one work of art. This tour starts by the information desk in the Grand Lobby. Gallery admission is free on Friday.

First Fridays, 6:30 pm
In the midst of the music and cocktails of our First Fridays events, join a short, 20-minute tour in the galleries. This tour is narrowly focused around a single theme and is the perfect break from the action of the Grand Lobby. This tour starts by the information desk in the Grand Lobby. Gallery admission is free on Friday.

First Sundays, 2 pm
We welcome visitors from around the world, locals who are more comfortable in their native language, and English speakers who want to brush up on their Spanish-language skills. This public tour is free with gallery admission and starts by the information desk in the Grand Lobby. Admission is half-price on Sunday.

With three weeks’ notice, we can provide a private docent-led tour in Spanish for your group.

Learn with local artists as they lead informal basic drawing classes in the galleries. This free class is open to adults at all skill levels—just bring a sketchbook and pencils. Registration is not required, but participants should sign in at the information desk. 2-3:30 pm

Wonderful Wednesdays is a program for families with young children led by a docent. A gallery project designed by the education department is included. The tour and project focus on a few works in the collection. Registration is not required, but a sign-up sheet is provided at the front desk the day of the program. Attendance is limited; admission is free. 4-4:45 pm

The first Friday of each month, the Modern and Café Modern team up to bring you music and drink specials in the museum's Grand Lobby from 5 to 8 pm. Invite friends to enjoy unique cocktail selections, and the opportunity to dine at the Modern by night. Café Modern offers a full menu in the dining room and lighter fare in the Grand Lobby until 8 pm. A docent-led, 20-minute tour of the galleries is available at 6:30 pm.
