College Night 2026: Seeing Red

College Night is the NCMA’s biggest college event of the year, bringing together students from across North Carolina for an evening in our galleries. This year’s theme draws inspiration from the exhibition Seeing Red and includes music, performances, art activities, and tours by our student gallery guides. Free snacks and beverages will be provided.
