Young Professionals Night: A Painter’s Secrets

About the Event

Find your crowd at this fall’s Young Professionals Night! Feel the pulse of Philly’s creative energy as emerging artists, tastemakers, and young professionals gather for an unforgettable evening of art, music, film, and connection. Whether you’re here to explore the galleries, spark new conversations with fellow art lovers, or lose yourself on the dance floor, #BarnesYP is your gateway to the city’s most dynamic cultural scene.

Step into the lush, hypnotic world of Henri Rousseau: A Painter’s Secrets, our newest exhibition celebrating one of the boldest forces in the history of modern art. We invite you to explore every corner of the Barnes, where secret treasures and hidden gems await your discovery.

Let the evening’s theme inspire your inner icon. Channel the richness of Rousseau’s palette with a look that’s bold, expressive, and unapologetically glamorous. Think jewel tones that shimmer under gallery lights, vintage silhouettes that tell a story, and accessories that sparkle like secrets waiting to be revealed. Rock a statement print, layer textures, or drip in rhinestones—tonight is your moment to turn heads and celebrate the art of self-expression.

Attire: jewels and jewel tones.

Young Professionals Night is hosted by The Contemporaries.
