Gallery Night

What is Gallery Night?

Gallery Night occurs four times a year and is a city-wide celebration of art. Businesses, local galleries, and venues remain open late and host events. Visitors shop, eat, listen to music, and spend time with friends and family, visiting as many local galleries as they wish. It’s a great way to get involved in Erie’s art and culture scene!
