Grand Stair
During the day, the Grand Stair plays host to artist talks, live performances, and other events. After the sun goes down, the curtains are drawn for Stair in the Dark, a unique Friday night screening experience.
Drop into Art at the Stair, a dynamic exhibition series featuring moving image art that connects with and expands upon other exhibitions currently on view at the museum.
Outside of ticketed events, the Grand Stair is accessible to the public free of charge.

Moving Image Lounge
The Moving Image Lounge on the Ground Floor is a free, drop-in space designed for unwinding and informal gathering. Settle into custom-designed, recycled furniture by Beau Architects, enjoy our plush carpets with a book, and take in moving image art displayed on screen. Surrounded by plants and ambient lighting, it’s a welcoming place to pause and reflect. At select times, the Lounge also becomes an intimate venue for conversations with artists, listening sessions, and other special events, bringing audiences together in a relaxed setting.
