Fri 11/4 @ 6-10PM
Now that the Cleveland Museum of Art’s monthly Friday evening MIX parties are back, expect things to get livelier around the galleries.
This one, dubbed “Con Alma” (“With Soul” in Spanish), should be really lively because the music is being provided by the ensemble of local Latin jazz timbales player, Sammy DeLeon, who’s known for turning every festival and local venue he plays into a major celebration, with no one left standing still. And if you’re not sure what to do with your feet, never fear: the evening kicks off with a Latin dance class at 6pm.
DeLeon will provide two of his typically high-energy sets while visitors mingle, visit galleries (including the current exhibit Impressionism to Modernism: The Keithley Collection, at no extra charge) and enjoy a special menu of Latin-style food available for purchase, including macaroni and cheese and chorizo-green chili mac, baked beef empanada, braised chicken or jackfruit tacos, deconstructed tamales, Mexican shrimp cocktail, chocolate mousse and elote corn cup. There’ll be specialty cocktails available too.
Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 online on November 4 (Member tickets are free.) They’re $20 at the door if any are still available, but the event is expected to sell out!
