The Gallery Night Pensacola Board of Directors is pleased to announce the December 17 Gallery Night event, presented by Publix. The December theme “Holiday Movies” will be full of holiday cheer and last-minute gifts plus a gift-wrapping station to complete your holiday shopping! Dec. 17 is also “National Ugly Sweater Day”…. So we encourage everyone to come out in their favorite ugly Holiday Sweater – we know you have one!
The Gallery Night featured artist for December is the First City Art Center’s (FCAC) Pottery Guild, who will provide live pottery demonstrations as well as an interactive booth where participants can decorate a bowl to be fired back at the art center.
FCAC’s Pottery Guild is a diverse group of individuals with a passion for working with clay, supporting activities and development of opportunities at First City Art Center and strengthening the Pensacola art community. The Guild is composed of FCAC members who have taught, taken classes or participated in FCAC special events. The guild looks for opportunities to bring clay art to communities without access to hands-on experiences through having a presence at festivals, markets, Foo Foo events, church and school functions, and other appropriate venues. Learn more about First City Art Center at www.firstcityart.org.
Each Gallery Night event features more than 30 local artists displaying their one-of-a-kind creations in open-air tents lining the streets with one talented artist presented as the Featured Artist for the evening. Gallery Night visitors can find the Featured artist tent at the intersection of Palafox and Romana directly next to the Gallery Night information tent.
Participating downtown bars and restaurants are open and serving guests, local shops and galleries will be open late and provide event patrons a chance to shop for unique gifts and wares. Live music and performances will be on various stages and can spring up spontaneously – so be ready to be entertained!
Each Gallery Night Pensacola event’s special themes set the tone for the performers, art, musical performance stages and activities that are sure to please. Gallery Night is an all-ages community arts and culture event which happens on the third Friday of each month from 5-9 p.m.
More information and updates on artists, performers, special events, sponsors, and more can be found on Gallery Night social media pages as well as our website (gallerynightpensacola.org) where you can find an interactive event map, performance schedule, and more.
