Featuring:
Dance Party with Mayer Hawthorne & Trackstar the DJ
We are excited to present Grammy-nominated musician Mayer Hawthorne at Afterglow. Dance away under neon lights to Mayer Hawthorne's live DJ set and an opening set by Trackstar the DJ—the official Tour DJ for Run the Jewels.
Infinity Room
Immersive experience by Refik Anadol
Step into an otherworldly portal and envelop yourself in kaleidoscopic light, sound, and projected patterns. Watch the walls melt away as the barrier between the material and virtual realms blur into infinity.
Open Bars & Treats
Sip your favorite drinks—including inventive cocktails, craft beers, and more—available at open bars throughout the museum. Also enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and sweet treats.
The Colors I Wanted to Flow You
Microscopic color-mixing workshop
Mix and match mediums and dyes and see what you create under prototype, handheld microscopes developed by UC Berkeley's Fletcher Laboratory.
Tactile Dome
Take a trip through total darkness in our unique Tactile Dome. Crawl and slide your way through the pitch-dark Dome using your sense of touch as your only guide through its chambers and mazes. Tactile Dome access is complimentary at Afterglow.
Afterglow is the official after party for the Exploratorium’s Party at the Piers gala. Last year’s fundraiser generated $1.3 million to support educational programs that reach thousands of students and educators worldwide. This year, all proceeds from Afterglow and Party at the Piers will support the Exploratorium’s community programs, both locally and worldwide.
