DIA Halloween 08
6–9 p.m.
Visit the DIA if you dare for its haunted/mystery tours. Costumed docents and other volunteers will lead visitors from Higley Cottage every 15 minutes, proceed along the outer ring of the other American galleries, and end at the Court of Death painting, providing haunting facts along the way. Lighting is adjusted and other effects are used to create a spooky atmosphere throughout the galleries.
Music: Libby York
7 & 8:30 p.m.
Vocalist Libby York is known for her subtle and understated yet expressive jazzy style. York has recorded three albums: Blue Gardenia, 2004's Sunday in New York (that boasted Count Basie alumni Frank Wess on tenor sax), and her self-produced 2008 release Here with You which features cornetist Warren Vaché and guitarists Howard Alden and Russell Malone.
