We love The Frick Collection (and not just because they let us bowl in their secret basement alley that time), and maybe you do, too? We just noticed that tonight they'll be hosting the first of three Summer Nights events, which includes sketching in the garden court! Did you know it used to be a driveway, but is now the most photographed space in the museum?
A rep for The Frick told us this morning, "As far as materials for sketching, we provide those to guest who would like to participate free of charge." There will also be poetry in the Oval Room, performances in the Music Room, a ballet excerpt, talks in the Dining Room, and more. Below is the layout for tonight (and find more details on every Summer Night here).
