1) Pre-game the plan Skim the schedule when you arrive and circle set times for the burlesque show, storytelling, and any DJ sets you can’t miss. Leave buffer for spontaneous detours (there will be many).
2) Dress the theme (your way)
• Celestial: moon-and-stars accents, metallics, silvery eyeliner.
• Witchy minimal: all-black + one statement piece (capelet, hat, boots).
• Artsy occult: printed scarf, vintage velvet, a charm or two. Comfortable shoes beat any curse.
• Tarot & lunar lore first (lines can build).
• Ghostly cocktails + a gallery stroll (pair sips with art—chef’s kiss).
• Paint under the moon once you’ve settled into the vibe—nothing like a little liquid courage to free the brush.
4) Performance flow Claim a spot a few minutes before the burlesque set; rotate to storytelling right after, then reward yourself with a dance break. ArtMix is a campus—if you miss one moment, another appears around the corner.
5) Mindful museum manners Drinks stay where signs say; flash off around art; say thanks to staff and volunteers—they’re the night’s true familiars.
6) Make it social Snap your masterpiece at the moonlit art station and tag the Crocker. Compliment a stranger’s outfit; it’s practically currency here.
Pocket list (screenshot me)
• Card/ID • Light layer (patio temps can shift) • Phone battery at 90% (photos + playlists) • Curiosity set to “high”
You’ll leave with paint on your fingers, a new favorite track from the DJ, and a story about that moment during tarot that felt a little too accurate. That’s ArtMix.
