About this Event
We will leave at 5:30 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and return to the Graduate around 7:30 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Jenn Wilson. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
- The Gallery at City Hall. In and Out of Focus; Reality and Memories at City Hall’s Gallery explores the powerful space between appreciating the immediate moment & respecting the intangibility of our memories. The artists, Olive the Giant (Quinn Bryan) & Jaclyn Tomasso, use a range of color, scale, & subject in their painting technique & palette, to delve into the notion of being in the here & now.
- AS220 Main Gallery presents two exhibits, Tall Tales by Raphael Serrano Disla & Gravity by Benjamin Messore. Tall Tales centers the immigrant experience, enculturation, familial bonds, & memory through a series of paintings. In Gravity, Messore uses candid photography to capture the essence of gut feelings & intuition.
- AS220 Aborn Gallery. In Dancing Round the Normals, John Buron embraces the mildly absurd and challenges social mores in this series of paintings and installation works. The exhibit encourages viewers to resist conventional perceptions.
- The Artists Loop at Wanskuck Community Library presents the work of four artists, Alix Fuerst, Dawn Oliveira, Pnina Pressburger, & Robin Halpren-Ruder. Guest artist, Cathren Housley, will unveil Imagination Takes Flight, a community collaborative art project combining paintings by the library’s youth with her own crafting skills.
Half of the seats on the trolley or mini coach will always be available (first-come, first-served), completely free, to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night!
The other half of the seats are available to reserve in advance via Eventbrite. We ask that you donate $1 when you check out, for the convenience of guaranteeing your spot on the tour of your choice ahead of time.
Reserving Multiple Tickets? Eventbrite requires you to make a separate reservation for each ticket. Each time you put in an order, it's only for one ticket (even if you choose to donate more than $1). For example, tickets for 3 people would be 3 separate orders, each with a $1 donation.
