In addition to regular hours, we are open 5 – 8 pm on the first Friday of each month *unless closed for installation or the annual Veranda Sale.

Join us once a month for a night of creative expression! As part of Liberty Station’s First Fridays, VMOTA will be open from 5-8 pm the first Friday of every month. Experience the Arts District after hours and wander through our galleries, interact with textile artists, and unleash your inner artist!

From January through April, we are exploring the impacts of color on our daily lives through our exhibitions and workshops. We invite you to learn alongside us!

On April 4, we invite younger visitors to embrace their emotions by building their own color wheels to associate feelings with colors.

In May, VMOTA is closed on First Friday due to installation of our next exhibitions.

On June 6, please join us – more details coming soon!

In July and August, the museum will not have First Friday workshops due to the Fourth of July holiday and our annual Veranda Sale Preview, respectively.
