On October 10, Gallery Night will be celebrated at 60 venues as lovers of art, culture, and community flow into galleries, museums, coffee shops, restaurants, and other local businesses to enjoy a community-wide night out like none other.  Held each spring and fall, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s Gallery Night provides a dynamic evening packed with performances, receptions, artist talks, art-making demonstrations, and live music. Gallery Night is from 5 to 9 pmand this fall will culminate in a special celebratory After Party in the beautiful lobby of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA), from 9 to 11 pm.

“We love seeing people all around the community out viewing, talking about, and enjoying art,” stated Stephen Fleischman, MMoCA director. “The energy of the evening truly speaks to the vibrant cultural life of Madison, and makes organizing this event for over 25 years as rewarding and important as it was in the beginning.”

  • A storytelling-themed After Party in the MMoCA lobby (9-11 pm) with spoken word/hip hop performances from Rob Dz, cocktails from Fresco, snacks, and hands-on art activities. Guests will enjoy sampling complimentary artisanal pizzas by The Roman Candle Pizzeria, offered until completely devoured;

  • An evening of photography with Joseph Leute at HotelRED;
