Open one night only--join fellow cool cats for an evening of mid-century jazz lounge glamour at Sheldon Museum of Art. Inspired by the iconic automats and irresistibly painted confections of Wayne Thiebaud, we’ll be serving a bountiful array of small plates, sweet treats, and savory delights. Dig the art, vibe with the crowd, and swap some solid conversation. It’s the hippest ticket in town and the swingingest event of the season! Cocktail attire with a 1960s flair is encouraged.
