After Hours (21+): Nina Yankowitz | In the Out/Out the In
A Night of Immersive Art and Sound
Join us for an art party you won’t want to miss. At this 21+ community celebration at the Museum of Fine Arts, we’re blending live DJ sets, contemporary art, and hands-on experiences into one immersive evening where art meets sound in unexpected ways.
This special night is a celebration of the dynamic In the Out / Out the In exhibition, featuring groundbreaking works by renowned multimedia artist Nina Yankowitz. The exhibition features works that reimagine how sound and visual art interact within the museum space, and you’ll have the unique opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about her creations.
While the art is at the heart of the night, the museum will be transformed into a vibrant sonic playground. With live DJ sets by Brian Schanck, Justin Depth, and jubilee, you can dance to curated beats in the conservatory, MFA Shop, and terrace.
Beyond the exhibition and performances, you’ll have plenty of ways to get creative with The Sapphic Sun and Daisy & Honey Studios. Discover and shop local zines and merch, make your own art at a live-making station, and walk away with a commemorative poster to remember the night. Expect creative surprises, unexpected soundscapes, and a community of artists, makers, and music lovers.
To keep your energy up, enjoy light bites and desserts throughout the evening. Don’t forget to enter our raffles for a chance to win fun prizes. Expect bold art, immersive sound, unexpected moments, and a joyful gathering of artists, makers, and music lovers.

ABOUT NINA YANKOWITZ
Throughout a career spanning six decades, Nina Yankowitz (American, b. 1946) has created a multidisciplinary practice that defies singular definition. Her work pushes against traditional boundaries: her paintings have resisted not just frames, but seemingly gravity; her abstract compositions have gone beyond the canvas to embrace the aural. Most recently, Yankowitz has deepened her interest in technology and new media to create immersive environments that spotlight women-centered histories that have gone unknown for far too long.
Nina Yankowitz was born and raised in New Jersey and lives between New York City and Sag Harbor. Her works are in public collections, including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; Virginia Museum of History & Culture, Richmond, VA; and the Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, MA. Her archival materials are found in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Her 2022 solo exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery garnered reviews in Artforum and Art in America, and in 2024 she was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Hall of Fame.
