This is a past event
Come enjoy a night exclusively for college students, designed by college students, at the Getty Center. This year College Night celebrates color - color in art and in our dreams, the science of color, and the possibilities of a more colorful future. Free; students must show college I.D.
Immerse yourself in art, enjoy live music by Kronika, and join in art-making activities and scientific experimentation. There will be free food, abundant tours, a cash bar, and surprises throughout the night.
