Mardi Gras in the Museum transforms a gallery space into a Mardi Gras–inspired celebration honoring women in the arts. Like walking through a living exhibit, guests experience dance, fashion & rhythm woven together in a vibrant, communal way.

​

This is not a traditional showcase, it’s a community carnival inside the museum, where art moves, cultures meet, and everyone belongs.
