Friday Nights at OMCA with NOODLES
DJ Set by NOODLES, DJ Sucia Music Set, and Gallery Chats
August 29 from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The beat drops at OMCA this Friday with two DJs bringing bold sounds and big energy. Choose your vibe with two live DJ sets that bring intention and serious rhythm to the night. On the Garden Stage, NOODLES delivers a DJ set featuring a genre-bending mix of hip-hop, R&B, electronic, and global sounds. Known for her bold style and creative vision, she’s rocked everything from underground clubs to international festivals.
In the Amphitheater, DJ Sucia lights up the space with a high-energy fusion of Latin beats, house, EDM, and today’s hip-hop hits. Rooted in their indigenous Mexican and Spanish heritage, DJ Sucia’s sets transform the dancefloor into a shared celebration of culture and connection.
Friday Nights at OMCA also offer a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike traditional museum tours, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in meaningful conversations, ask questions, and connect with OMCA facilitators, who combine deep content knowledge with lived experience to encourage fresh interpretations of the museum’s exhibitions.
