First Friday at the Modern

Join us for the exciting Free First Friday at the Modern on the first Friday of each month from 5 to 8 pm, where art, music, and food come together for a lively evening! The Modern and Café Modern collaborate to bring live music from the First Friday House Band, alongside delightful drink specials and light bites available for purchase in the museum's Grand Lobby. Enjoy free gallery admission and invite friends for a one-of-a-kind evening experience.

On June 5, take part in the "Flora & Form: Printmaking Workshop" at the Modern Shop, hosted by the Modern Shop and the Museum's Education team. This free workshop allows attendees to create custom merchandise inspired by the special exhibition "Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers," with the option to purchase a tote bag from the shop for printing their designs.

After First Friday, Modern members are invited for a complimentary viewing of James Turrell’s Come to Good Skyspace at Keith House. Experience a stunning art installation as the retractable roof opens at sunset, immersing you in a unique interplay of light and the sky. Afterward, make dinner plans at Café Modern, where Executive Chef Jett Mora serves seasonal menus rooted in Texas ingredients, offering both indoor and outdoor seating in a dramatic architectural setting. For dinner reservations, call 817.840.2157 or visit OpenTable online.
