Nocturne: Art at Night (6:00 pm - Midnight)
View art, make art, hear art, surround yourself in art. The Gallery will be open from 6:00 pm until midnight. In addition to the exhibitions currently on view, Nocturne goers will find:
- A large-scale relief print of a brain created by J.L. Ilsley High School students and artist Melissa Marr that will provide inspiration for art making of your own.
- Gallery – a witty, playful, inventive, imaginative, irreverent, pas-de-trois romp through a metaphorical art gallery. Seasoned performers Louise Hoyt, Sherry Lee Hunter, and Sheilagh Hunt revisit and refresh this classic work that was first staged in 1984.
