Art Night Out is an adults evening at the Orlando Museum of Art that pairs a themed art project with instruction from an art teacher. Each installment has a different theme, and guests may bring a date or come alone to meet new people. Class price covers all materials and an adult beverage.

The upcoming theme, Red, White and Gobble: The Turkey That Almost Was, is led by artist and biological illustrator Xavier Moss. Weeks before Thanksgiving, the session explores the natural history of the wild turkey, including its iridescent feathers, snoods, gobbles and courtship displays, along with its comeback from near disappearance, and the story of Benjamin Franklin preferring the turkey to the bald eagle.

Participants then imagine an alternate America in which the turkey became a symbol of freedom, creating their own turkey-inspired national artwork. Space is limited and pre-registration is required, by phone, email or the registration link.
