Spring Gallery Night Packed with Sights and Sounds

Erie Art Museum

Gallery Night attendees are often granted the opportunity to enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and meet-and-greets with participating artists.

Friday, Apr. 29

Gallery Night. Any self-respecting Erieite knows it and loves it. After last occurring in October 2021, the first official Gallery Night of the year will include at least 20 different participating locations. 

Chief among them, of course, is the Erie Art Museum. With the 99th annual Spring Show having opened on Friday, April 8 (thanks in part to guest juror Jessica Hong), this will be an opportune time for those who missed the opening to check out the venerable annual exhibit. On Gallery Night, EAM will feature music from DJ Amy Sas and Mckenzie Sprague (aka Optimistic Apocalypse), and the debut of the interactive experience "Narcissus," courtesy of the Erie Art Company and Noodlefish. 

Looking to make the crawl? Try to hit up as many of these locations as you can.
