Thursdays on the Terrace
June 11 through August 27
5 pm — 9 pm
Thursday nights are better on the Terrace. Every Thursday this summer, the Grand Rapids Art Museum opens its doors and outdoor terrace for a free evening of art, music, food, and community.
Whether you're celebrating the end of the week, making plans with friends, or just in need of a good evening out — Thursdays on the Terrace is the perfect summer evening.
Come for the art. Stay for everything else.
What to Expect
Each Thursday features either a live local musician or DJ. Check the schedule to see who’s up next.
Rotating local food trucks bring a fresh menu to the terrace each week.
Enjoy a cash bar with Michigan craft beers, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. GRAM members receive a discount at the bar. Not a member yet? There’s no better time to join.
Each Thursday brings a unique activity, experience, or performance alongside the music, food and indoor exhibitions. Pop-ups, hands-on moments, and surprises — no two evenings are the same.
All current GRAM exhibitions are open and free with extended hours from 5 pm – 9 pm. Explore Decadent Spirit: French Art at the Turn of the Century, Jerry’s Map by Jerry Gretzinger, The Matter of Awe: Landscapes in Art, and much more.
Good to know
No ticket or reservation is needed. Thursdays on the Terrace is free and open to everyone. Just show up.
Seating is first-come, first-served. Grab a spot on the terrace and settle in for the evening.
In case of rain, the event moves indoors.
