Ringling Underground

The Museum of Art Courtyard transforms into an outdoor venue for regional music and emerging visual creators during Ringling Underground. Hosted by The Ringling, the recurring event bridges the gap between the institution's classical architecture and the local contemporary arts scene. The evening features a rotating lineup of live bands playing across genres, while up-and-coming student and independent artists install temporary, experimental works directly within the courtyard corridors. The gathering operates as an energetic, informal social mixer, allowing attendees to explore the intersection of live performance and modern installation art outside the traditional gallery setting.
