Art After Dark: YOU, ME, and R&B – The Newark Museum of Art

Newark, cuffing season has arrived at the museum. Art After Dark: YOU, ME, and R&B, featuring The Holdout, takes over The Newark Museum of Art on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 7:00 to 10:30 PM, for an adults-only evening of R&B, art, and nightlife under one roof.

DJ Black Daniel White spins R&B from the timeless classics to today’s hits on the main stage, with live performances from Tiger James, Etheria, and Nyugen E. Smith. The night also brings an immersive planetarium experience, a curator-led tour of Dreamtime in Newark, and the Pooka Fragrance Bar — where the first 50 general admission guests can craft their own signature scent. And when the museum closes, the party keeps going: a free afterparty runs from 10:35 PM to midnight at Newark Culture Club, right across the street.

Come dressed to impress, come with your favorite people — or ready to meet someone new. This is not your typical R&B night.

Tickets are $18 in advance ($13 for members, $45 VIP) and $25 at the door. Get yours and make it a night at the museum.
