K2 Friday Night

Cocktails, art, and music make a heady mix during K2 Friday Nights, where admission is free every Friday from 6:00 to 10:00 PM. Café Serai becomes the K2 Lounge, offering a special drink menu to accompany the evening’s DJ, Navarro. Explore all the galleries, dive deeper with an exhibition tour at 7:15 PM, and kick off your weekend with the Rubin.

About the DJ

Navarro is a true musicologist, adept at stringing together eclectic songs to create soundtracks for any occasion. With over two decades of experience playing all over the city, from neighborhood bars to the fanciest and most formal of settings, from free-form fm radio and public access television to celebrity birthday parties, Navarro is a master of unearthing forgotten gems to make a room sparkle in sound.
