Put on your most colorful outfit in homage to Vincent van Gogh and his iconic art for Van Gogh Dress-Up Day. The first 100 visitors to arrive dressed in costume—as the artist himself, one of his famed paintings, or any imaginative look inspired by the flowery subjects he painted—will receive gifts themed around Van Gogh's Flowers, NYBG’s multi-season exhibition.

Enjoy the floral and contemporary art exhibition Van Gogh’s Flowers and participate in a Plein-Air Drop-In & Paint program near a field of real and sculptural sunflowers.

From 2–3pm, check out a Look-Alike Contest and walk the runway, where visitors can strut their stuff for the crowd and have judges admire their style, with a chance to win NYBG and Van Gogh’s Flowers prizes. Stop by a double-decker Van Gogh bus for a bloomingly beautiful selfie photo opportunity. 

On select Friday and Saturday nights, Starry Nights offers exhibition viewing in the glow of evening, with music and performers, drinks and food available for purchase, and, conditions-permitting, after-dark Van Gogh-themed drone shows—New York City’s first at a cultural institution—bringing Starry Night to life before your eyes ($49/person).
