Every Friday from 5 to 10 pm. Cover charge is half-price regular Museum admission. For a more social experience, the Museum is open late with a cash bar in the entrance gallery and special programs listed on our calendar.

The Weekend Factory, every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. provides opportunities for visitors of all ages to experiment with materials, techniques and themes used by Warhol. Based on an experience with original works of art, visitors work in small, informal groups to explore Warhol's techniques.

The Weekend Factory is recommended for adults, teens and children over five years old. Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult. A variety of equipment, supplies and props will be provided for this hands-on experience. For more information go to http://www.warhol.org/education/weekend_factory.html.

The Whole Boogie Woogie Party
Celebrating the opening of
Piet (Mondrian) in Pittsburgh

and

Transformer: The Work of Glenn Kaino

Saturday, May 3, 8 pm – Midnight
Tickets $69 per couple or $40 single
TicketWeb.com

It’s our biggest party of the year. In honor of Mondrian’s love of big band boogie woogie, Chicago’s Ross Bon and the Mighty Blue Kings will give a special reunion musical performance, complemented by thematic cocktails and tempting fare. Not to mention DJ Zombo and free dance-card portraits. This party is too big for just The Warhol, so we will be swinging over to the adjacent Alcoa Business Services building as well. One party you don’t want to miss.

For more information visit the Warhol Calendar.

The Whole Boogie Woogie party kicks off two new special exhibitions, Piet (Mondrian) in Pittsburgh and Glenn Kaino. A leader in abstract painting of the twentieth century, Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, was best known for his Neo-Plasticism (a Dutch movement founded and name by Mondrian) abstractions of rigid forms consisting of rectangular shapes of red, yellow, blue, or black, separated by thick, black, rectilinear lines. Los Angeles artist Glenn Kaino’s exhibition features seven of his large-scale installation pieces. These mixed-media, kinetic sculptures of familiar forms show reference to cultural history, mechanics, and physics.

10 pm performance by Ross Bon and the Mighty Blue Kings
