Late Nights

To provide patrons with more time to experience the Flint Institute of Arts, each Friday, the FIA is open late. In addition to the art galleries, the Museum Shop and The Palette Café are open. On select nights, enjoy special programs as highlighted below. It’s a great way to wind down the week.

Friday nights in July and August, the FIA in partnership with FIM's Music Around Town series presents Patio Nights on the Palette Cafe patio!

Enjoy an al fresco evening of live music, food, drinks and great ambience. The event is FREE, drinks and food are available for purchase. Arrive early for a seat on the patio, or bring a chair or blanket and kick back on the FIA lawn. Music plays from 6–7:30p each week, and musical genres vary.
