Arts & Letters Live is a literary and performing arts series for all ages that features award-winning authors and performers of regional, national, and international acclaim. The series is recognized for its creative multidisciplinary programming—combining literature with visual arts, music, and film—and for commissioning new work from musicians, dancers, and poets, inspired by works of art in the Museum's collection and special exhibitions. The series is celebrating its 31st season in 2022.
In order to receive the most current event and logistical details, we strongly encourage you to purchase Arts & Letters Live event tickets only via Etix, the DMA’s ticketing system. Tickets purchased through third party vendors are often more expensive and prevent us from guaranteeing the accuracy of seat assignments and sharing logistical information.
