As students at SMU, it is often easy to find yourself staying as near to campus as possible when it comes to dining and entertainment. 

Considering the multitude of options and beautiful scenery, who is to blame? 

However, it is important to remember that Dallas is one of the most dynamic cities in the country, and has much to offer outside of the SMU and Park Cities areas.

The Dallas Arts District, located just north of downtown, is a perfect example of the rapid growth in the arts community that Dallas has experienced over the past decade. 

The Nasher Sculpture Center is one of the wonderful modern facilities located in the new and vibrant Dallas Arts District.

They have recently partnered up with the Dallas Museum of Art and the Dallas Film Society to present the, monthly outdoor event, “Til Midnight at the Nasher.” 

Taking place every third Friday of the month, the event will feature a concert, al fresco dining and a movie, all located in the museum’s beautiful Garden at a student admission price of $5.
Food and wine are also available, but are not included in the admission price.

Guided tours of the various galleries throughout the Nasher will be included, providing a unique opportunity to experience all that the museum has to offer at night. 

The next scheduled event will be held Sept. 17 from 6 p.m. until midnight.

It will be a Cuban theme, featuring the Latin orchestra band Havana NRG, providing excellent salsa music, followed by the late night showing of West Side Story.
