Viernes Nights at OMCA with Ashley Mehta
Live Music by Ashley Mehta, DJ set by BRIIZA, Locking Dance Lesson with Chaz, and Gallery Chats
Agosto 14 from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Viernes Night at OMCA comes alive with a captivating live performance from Ashley Mehta on the Garden Stage. Blending powerhouse vocals, infectious pop melodies, and emotionally honest songwriting, the rising singer-songwriter delivers a dynamic set that moves seamlessly between intimate storytelling and high-energy anthems, creating an unforgettable connection with the audience.
Bringing even more energy to the evening, BRIIZA takes over the Amphitheater with a vibrant DJ set that weaves together Latin music, Bay Area classics, house, and global electronic sounds. Renowned for her fearless, genre-spanning approach and electrifying presence behind the decks, the Salvadoran producer and DJ keeps guests dancing with an upbeat, family-friendly soundtrack.
Guests can also step onto the dance floor during a locking dance lesson led by Chaz. This interactive experience introduces the eight foundational movements of the iconic street dance style while exploring rhythm, groove, and technique, offering participants of all levels the opportunity to learn from a seasoned artist.
Alongside an exceptional event experience, Viernes Nights at OMCA also features Gallery Chats from 5:30–7:30 pm. Putting a twist on the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in meaningful conversations, share personal reflections, and explore new perspectives on the artwork, artifacts, and stories throughout OMCA’s galleries. Enthusiastic volunteer facilitators can be found floating between all of OMCA’s galleries, including its Great Hall Special Exhibitions, throughout the evening. Look for the blue “Let’s Chat” shirts to join the conversation. Gallery Chats are included with Museum admission.
