The excitement of tailgate season is upon us, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is transforming the traditional tailgating experience into an artistic journey like no other!

If you thrive on the camaraderie of parking lot gatherings, prepare to be amazed as college arts educators showcase their innovative sculptural and multimedia works. Among these creations is the RMUTT, a camper designed to withstand an apocalypse—talk about functional art!

Join us for a one-day-only outdoor exhibition on August 16 from 10 a.m. to midnight in the museum's parking lot. While there may not be a game afterward, you can indulge in a variety of barbecued delights—both edible and conceptual!

Escape the Heat and Embrace the Art

For those seeking a respite from the sweltering summer sun, this event coincides with the museum's free admission policy on Fridays. Plus, don’t miss the monthly slow art tour at 5:30 p.m. inside the museum's comfortable, air-conditioned setting.
