House Party @ the MO
Music. Dance. Food. Art. Free.
Kick back with a day of free, family-friendly festivities—done like only the Momentary can do.
From DJ sets and dance parties to outdoor games and cocktail demos, we’re filling the campus with creative celebrations for everyone in honor of the opening of our latest exhibition Enduring Amazon and the Momentary’s fresh new look.
Bring the family and hit up the daytime dance sessions in the RØDE House and the Kids Zone packed with games, prizes, and family activities.
Or, relax with live music presented by House of Song with artists Beau Bledsoe and Ezgi Karakus in the Beer & Wine Garden and raise a toast to a new exhibition, then head into the galleries to see multimedia artist Beeple’s latest installation and learn about Enduring Amazon from the exhibition artists themselves.
Cocktails and lounge vibes more your speed? Catch a film or live mixology demo in the Tower Bar through the afternoon, then browse the galleries during the public reception for the exhibition.
Night owls, you’re not forgotten—we’ve planned an after-hours dance party in the RØDE House and a 21+ experience in the Tower Bar to help you round out the evening.
So whether you’re bougie or bohemian, a long-time member or it’s your first time stopping by, we promise you’ve never seen the Momentary party like this before.
See you there.
Free, no tickets required. Drop by anytime from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.

ABOUT ENDURING AMAZON
Through wide-spectrum photography, music, light, flora, and fauna, in Enduring Amazon: Life and Afterlife in the Rainforest, five artists call us to pay close attention to the delicate balance of life in the Amazon—pinpointing connections of cause and effect that are at once beautiful, moving, and worrying.
Anchored by a groundbreaking ultra-high-definition film from environmental photographer Richard Mosse, the group exhibition will also feature a multi-gallery soundtrack by award-winning composer Ben Frost, a new video and sound installation by Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, and a captivating living sculpture drawn from the forest’s basin by David Brooks.
