After Hours (21+) | In Caravaggio’s Light

On Friday the 13th, step into the shadows and experience the dramatic world of Caravaggio. This adults-only evening brings together art, music, fashion, flavor, and flair, immersing guests in the spectacle of the Baroque. Dress to impress and explore the museum after hours—sip lavish cocktails (cash bar), create your own Baroque-inspired art moments, and move through a soundscape that fuses classical grandeur with modern beats from In Between Days Vinyl DJ and in-house musical Curator DJ Sein, all while striking your own dramatic pose… or two. Heighten the experience with an exclusive sommelier-led wine tasting from Book + Bottle, hosted in the MFA’s Membership Garden, featuring a curated selection of bold, expressive wines worthy of the Baroque, with DJ Brian Schanck setting the mood with atmospheric tunes. The night comes alive with dynamic visuals from oil painter Whitney Paige, whose live painting is sure to stop guests in their tracks, and a one-night-only floral installation by Nancy Steinbuechler of the Garden Club of St. Petersburg. With inventive experiences and unforgettable energy, this is a night you won’t want to miss.   After Hours (21+) In Caravaggio’s Light Friday, March 13, 2026 7:00 PM–10:00 PM Mary Alice McClendon Conservatory Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg 255 Beach Drive NE, St. Petersburg FL 33701 GENERAL ADMISSION: $65 Members; $75 Not-Yet-Members  *Each ticket includes event access, one signature cocktail, light bites, and desserts.  EVENT TICKETS Sommelier-Led Wine Experience with Book + Bottle Tickets are limited!
