Popular music, classical music, art exhibitions, theater, comedy, museums, galleries, dance, film... there's so much going on around you it's impossible to keep up. Arts Night Out finds what's on, learns what you like, and makes sure you never miss the show. Currently in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. The app pulls every show, opening, concert, and talk from hundreds of venues and organizations across your city, puts them into one feed, then filters it down to the events worth your time. Not a generic listings dump. Not an algorithm chasing engagement. A feed that actually knows your taste and keeps getting sharper as you use it. You start by telling it what you like. Answer questions, describe your preferences the way you'd tell a friend, pick the neighborhoods you'll actually travel to, and choose the venues you care about. From there, every event you react to tunes the feed further. The more you use it, the better it knows you. What's in it: • Museums and gallery openings • Live music — jazz, classical, indie, experimental • Bands and nightclubs • Theater, comedy, and dance • Film screenings and talks • Nightlife and late-night events • Book readings and author meets • Classes and festivals If it's happening at a local arts venue or organization, it's here, gathered automatically and updated daily. When you find something worth attending, save it to your calendar with one tap. No copy-pasting, no browser tabs left open, no forgetting. Just show up. Your city has a great arts scene. Arts Night Out makes sure you actually experience it. Currently in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. This app will never sell your data, use your personal data for AI training, or do anything with your data that you wouldn't feel comfortable with. All of your preferences are known only to you.
