From eclectic furnishings to botanical paintings to sailboat etchings, the Georgia Museum of Art has a full house of interesting artwork offering a cool respite from the summer heat. The thrice-yearly art party Museum Mix will celebrate current exhibitions with late-night access to the galleries Thursday, July 20 from 8–11 p.m. Preceded by an hourlong Thursday Twilight Tour spotlighting highlights from the permanent collection, the event includes music by DJ Nate from Wuxtry, who plans to spin rock, R&B, blues, Afrobeat and reggae gems from the ’50s–’70s.

“Modern Living: Giò Ponti and the 20th-Century Aesthetics of Design” presents over 50 pieces of funky furniture and decorative art that exemplify Ponti’s innovative approach of balancing beautiful yet functional interior spaces. In addition to creating impressive architectural works—notably, the first skyscraper in Italy—Ponti designed a tremendous number of objects over the course of his prolific, nearly 60-year career.
