If an large arts organization specializing in the exhibition of works of art were to have a party on a Friday night every month to draw people into its art space, what would a good name for the party be? The organization would be open to midnight, probably try to draw in a few djs or bands, serve alcohol, have its gallaries open, coffee, maybe movies and readings, etc. The point is to have the organization appeal to a younger hipper audience. The party may be associated with an exhibition, but maybe not. For example, for an upcoming Basquiat exhibition several old skool hip-hop djs have been lined up.

FWIW, the MFA in Boston has something called First Fridays. I've never been but the MFA site describes it as "sensational cocktails, a delicious tapas menu, fine art, a glorious Museum setting, and [live music]." Its reputation is for oodles of smart, attractive women and sparse pickings in the man department.
