Gertrude Abercrombie's close circle of queer friends and artists deeply influenced her painting's subjects and motifs, and inspired her famous parties that lasted into the night. For this edition of Art Queeries, we pay homage to her 'continuous gatherings' by exploring her paintings through a queer lens with facilitated conversations by Christian Adame, Mirken Director of Learning and Engagement, Sarah Humphreville, Lunder Curator of American Art, Christopher T. Richards, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art, and Colby students. After time in the galleries, join us for a shared meal in the museum's lobby. This event is free and open to all.

Experience an unforgettable evening as Chef Matt Kramer curates a one-of-a-kind 10-course tasting menu, served in two limited seatings at 5:30PM and 7:30PM — with only 10 seats available per seating.

This $150++ per person dining experience will showcase an inventive progression of small plates, refreshing salads, delicately composed nigiri, signature rolls, hot dishes, and a decadent dessert — all highlighting sustainably sourced local seafood and seasonal ingredients, prepared right before your eyes. Expect several exclusive off-menu creations crafted especially for the evening. Enhance your meal with an optional beverage pairing for $50, featuring a thoughtfully curated lineup of apéritif, wine, sake, and digestif to complement each course.

Please note: Due to the set nature of the tasting menu and the intimate format of the event, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies.

First Light is a bold new creation by 3AM Theatre (NYC) blending contemporary circus, physical theatre, and modern dance with kinetic sculpture, immersive lighting, and an original soundscape to deliver a singular, genre-defying experience.

Visually striking and emotionally charged, the work draws audiences into a journey of explorers set out to ascend the tallest mountain known to exist. Their ambition soon becomes a reckoning with memory, loss, and the unseen forces that shape our fate.

Guided by six virtuosic performers, First Light explores the human condition through themes of ambition, loss, transcendence, and empathy. As the characters rise and falter, are lost and found, their physical odyssey becomes a meditation on perseverance, connection, and acceptance. The production challenges the boundaries of live performance, merging world-class circus artists with live musicians and a site-specific stage design that fully integrates the unique architecture of The Halo at Thompson's Point, transforming its space into an immersive theatrical environment that blurs the line between audience and performer.

Join us for a pre-show cocktail at 6:30 PM, featuring a live music set by Book Kennison, whose sound shapes the atmosphere of the evening. The performance begins promptly at 7:00 PM and runs approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, including a twenty-minute intermission. After the performance, stay for a meet-and-greet with the artists, accompanied by a DJ set by Kyle Driggs.
