Enjoy free admission and extended hours courtesy of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. Head to the galleries at 6:30 p.m. to chat with our friendly docents about the art you see. Due to the popularity of The Imaginative Worlds of M.C. Escher, advance tickets are strongly recommended. There may be a small wait to enter the galleries.

Plus, First Thursday live music returns to Boyd Plaza! Enjoy outdoor jams from Columbia favorites Stagbriar and Dear Blanca in the evening. Beer and wine available for purchase from The Whig. Plaza events sponsored by First Thursday on Main.
