Saturday, April 3, 2027

Join us for the Nasher Bash, an unforgettable evening that brings the Nasher to life after dark. As the sun sets, the galleries and garden fill with music, moonlight, and the debut of a new commission by three renowned artists.

 

The evening will feature the premiere of a new contemporary dance commission featuring costumes by artist Tatiana Trouve, music by award-winning composer Isobel Waller-Bridge, and dance by critically acclaimed choreographer Pam Tanowitz.


All sponsor guests will enjoy cuisine by chef and New York Times food columnist David Tanis. The event will be designed by Will Cooper, including reserved VIP lounges and intimate vignette seating throughout the garden and galleries.

Music. Movement. A little bit of magic.

Impact

The Nasher Bash supports the Nasher Sculpture Center’s Annual Fund, helping sustain the museum’s exhibitions, education programs, public events, and care of its collection throughout the year.  It also makes the creation of a new contemporary dance commission possible, bringing together extraordinary artists across disciplines for a work created for the Nasher.

After the premiere, the new work will be unveiled through a public performance for new audiences to discover beyond the Nasher Bash.
