Late Night at the Bruce: Spirits, Souls, and Sips
Thursday, October 31, 2024, 6:00 pm-9:00 pm
Spooky season is upon us! At the Bruce we have planned a night filled with spirits of all types. Come visit the Museum this Halloween to learn about the different ways we celebrate spirits and souls throughout the Fall season. Enjoy specialized drinks, food, art, and activities. You and your friends will be able to celebrate the evening in spooky style. Also, visit all the Museum’s exhibitions and galleries which are open late for this evening!
Late Night at the Bruce is funded by The Giving Bee Family Foundation.
Spirited Market + Crafts:
Visit our auditorium to learn how diverse cultures preserve and remember their lost loved ones. From drinks, hair jewelry, taxidermy, and to making your own memento mori learn about the many ways we remember the ones we love!
Ghoulish Tunes:
Shake your bones to ghoulish tunes by Justin Keller of Skylark Music, from who will play tunes from the grave on the Gallery Mezzanine all night long. Justin Keller has been DJing parties since his Brooklyn days in the 2010's. He currently runs Skylark Music, a successful wedding and event music business, while also teaching music appreciation and history at the College of Staten Island and Mercy University. He's a music obsessive, dedicated to enriching lives through music, whether by moving people on the dance floor or inspiring them in the classroom. @skylarkmusicny
Victorian Tintype Photography with Brookyln Tintype:
