Just in time for the presidential election, you can join the Museum of Fine Arts for a 12-hour exploration of politics in Boston and beyond.
“State of the Party,” the third installment of the MFA’s monthly overnight parties, will take over the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art and offer a multitude of activities, the museum said in a statement.
The free event will kick off Friday, November 4, at 9 p.m. and last until Saturday, November 5, at 9 a.m.
Attendees will be able to explore two new installations , “Political Intent” and “Beyond Limits,” as well as get inspired by Christian Marclay’s 24-hour video collage “The Clock” and add a “clip” from their own 24-hour day to a mixed-media drawing collaboration.
Bonetown Burgers, Indulge India, North East of the Border, and Sheherazad food trucks will provide food for visitors, while DJ YVNG PAVL and guests will perform from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., according to the museum. Turkish duo Neotolia will also perform an hour-long concert at 9:15 p.m.
Event-goers can get their heart rate up with a late-night run at 9 p.m. with Heartbreak Hill Running Company, or apply their artistic talents in “Drawing After Dark” between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.
SPARK Boston will host a Chief Chat, during which participants can engage with city officials, the MFA said. Attendees can also participate in a discussion on 2016 with James Pindell, a Boston Globe political reporter.
From 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., visitors can watch Cyrille Conan, a Roxbury-based artist, create a mural live. Other activities include lectures, artist demonstrations, and performance art.
Wristbands will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis (with no advance tickets) at the Linde Family Wing Entrance and must be worn at all times, according to the museum. Large bags and backpacks may not be allowed inside.
The event is the third of four all-night parties taking place this fall as part of the mfaNOW Overnight series, a celebration of contemporary art. Check out the full list of events and activities here.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the event was Oct. 28-29.
