About the Event

It’s back! Part party, part runway show, part epic costume contest, ART AFTER DARK returns October 24, 2026.
OMA’s signature after-hours event transforms the museum into a creative hive of wearable art, outrageous performances, spooky-good libations, and North County’s biggest costume competition. Use our exhibitions as inspiration and dress to impress the judges at this one-of-a-kind art party and fundraiser. Costumes strongly encouraged! This is a 21+ event.
