Dallas’ Nasher Sculpture Center is trying something new. Next Friday, they will open their doors for a free concert and 3D movie screening.

As part of “Spring-In to the Arts District,” the center will be airing Martin Scorsese’s five-time Academy Award-winning film “Hugo.”

The event, “’til Midnight at the Nasher,” begins at 7 p.m. with a concert by “Dallas’ Best Band” Emerald City, who performs every genre, from Frank Sinatra to today’s pop hits.

“This is the first time ever to present “’til Midnight at the Nasher” for free. We’re hopeful that the public responds and that it’s something that we can continue in the future,” Associate Director of Media Relations Kristen Gibbins said.

Make sure to bring a blanket to the movie, which begins at 9 p.m. and is shown in the center’s 1.4 acre outdoor sculpture garden.

For dinner, you can enjoy salads, sandwiches and snacks from Café Nasher by Wolfgang Puck or you can reserve a picnic basket.

Nestled among 25 large-scale sculptures, the movie and concert invite students, families and art connoisseurs alike to meander through the garden and the center’s indoor collections.

“People who are intimidated by modern and contemporary art can come to this event and see that it is accessible and beautiful,” Gibbins said.

After exploring the enormous sculptures outside, visitors can view the Nasher’s current exhibition featuring the collages and sculptures of Elliot Hundley.

Additionally, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Crow Collection, located across the street from the Nasher Sculpture Center, will be open until midnight.

“We really hope that through social media, students from SMU come to the center and enjoy the art so much that they return again, but this time with their friends,” Gibbins said.

The Nasher provides a student discount, with regular tickets costing only five dollars.

Admission to the Crow Collection is always free.
