Thursdays from Thursday, December 4, 2025 to Friday, December 26, 2025 from 5-8 p.m.
The Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM) will be open until 8 p.m. on both Thursdays and Fridays and will feature a holiday-themed projection light show outside in the Alice Bimel Courtyard. While the museum is always open until 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Friday’s extended hours are special for the holiday season.
CAM’s collection galleries and three exhibitions, including What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine, will be open during the extended hours. Visitors can also enjoy the Terrace Café, Museum Shop, and the Rosenthal Education Center (REC). What, Me Worry? is a ticketed exhibition but will be free from 5-8 p.m. on Thursdays (CAM’s ticketed exhibitions are always free Thursday evenings). The exhibition will be ticketed on Friday evenings.
Cincinnati-based motion designer, 3D animator, and three-time BLINK artist Chaske Haverkos designed an exciting projection light show, accompanied by festive music, that will play in regular intervals along a wall in the courtyard. Visitors can enjoy the show outside. Diners can also reserve a heated globe and enjoy a good meal and projection show together. Globes can seat four–six people. Make a globe reservation by calling 513-639-2986.
