Art After Dark: Family Reunion

Experience community, culture, and creativity like never before at Art After Dark: Family Reunion — an unforgettable evening celebrating connection, movement, and Black expression in all its forms. In partnership with the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture and Mad Miles Run Club, this special edition of the Gantt’s signature seasonal series brings together art lovers, runners, creatives, and community members for a night that feels like the ultimate family cookout meets cultural celebration.

Set against the backdrop of the Gantt’s inspiring exhibitions, guests can vibe to sounds from multiple DJs, hit the dance floor for line dancing, compete in a variety of games including spades and Minute to Win It challenges, and participate in interactive workshops designed to spark creativity and connection. Capture the moment at the photo backdrop, enjoy custom screen-printing by MacFly Fresh, and gather for an intimate storytelling activation exploring culture, community, and collective joy.

About Mad Miles Run Club

Mad Miles is more than a run club, it's a community built on connection, culture, and shared experiences.

Founded in Charlotte, Mad Miles brings people together through movement, wellness, social engagement, and service. While running is often the entry point, the heart of Mad Miles is the community that forms beyond the miles. From weekly runs and social events to volunteer initiatives, wellness programming, and cultural experiences, we create spaces where people can build meaningful relationships and feel a sense of belonging.

Our community includes runners, walkers, creatives, professionals, families, and individuals simply looking to connect with others in a welcoming environment. Whether you're training for a race, showing up for the vibes, or meeting new people for the first time, there's a place for you here.

At Mad Miles, we believe movement can bring people together, but community is what keeps people coming back. Think of Mad Miles as the cousin who organizes the family reunion — movement may bring us together, but the laughter, conversations, music, and connections are what make us family.
