Color of Summer — Columbus Museum of Art
This is where everything comes together.

OUTSIDE:
Graphic Tee Edition A bold expression of style, sound, and culture.
“Outside” blends fashion, music, and art into one high-energy experience—featuring top DJs, a live band, curated art elements, a cigar lounge, specialty cocktails, and interactive visuals that move with the night.
Graphic tees become statements. Style meets street. And the city shows up ready.
Saturday Night
The Afterparty
The afterparty is where everything loosens up.
Where the music hits harder, the crowd feels closer, and the energy becomes fully alive.
DJs take control. Drinks keep flowing. Conversations turn into moments you didn’t plan—but won’t forget.
It’s not an add-on—it’s where many people truly find their night.
No structure. No expectations.
Just the right people, the right music, and a vibe that carries until the very end.
