GALLERY NIGHT 30 TH ANNIVERSARY
Friday, Oct 5, 5–9 PM • After Party, 9–11 PM
Mark your calendar for Friday, October 5 as Madison
celebrates 30 years of Gallery Night! From fairly
modest beginnings in 1988, to the exciting city-wide
celebration of today, Gallery Night offers an opportunity
to enjoy a variety of visual art offerings throughout the
city. Organized semi-annually by MMoCA, this event
allows a wide audience to engage with local artists.
Assemble a group or venture out on a date to experience
Madison’s vibrant arts scene at dozens of diverse participating
venues including fine art galleries, artist studios,
community centers, and local businesses. Each venue
will showcase original artwork and many will offer artist
talks, demonstrations, live music, and refreshments.
Come to MMoCA at 6:30 pm for Michael J. McClure’s
gallery talk on Joel Shapiro: The Bronzes. Admission to
the talk is free.
As the Gallery Night venues begin to close, the official
Gallery Night After Party will just be getting started.
From 9-11 pm, this party takes over the iconic MMoCA
lobby. Come enjoy music from DJ Millbot, complimentary
snacks, hands-on art activities, and a cash bar
from Fresco. MMoCA’s galleries will even be open late so
guests can enjoy art after dark.
Share your Gallery Night photos and reviews on social
media using #MADGalleryNight and see your snaps projected
at the After Party on our social media feed.
Gallery Night is sponsored by Design Concepts, with
media support from Isthmus.
CIVIC EXCHANGE SOCIETY (CES)
CIDER RELEASE EVENT
Thursday, Oct 11 • 5–8 PM
Art & Sons • 408 E Wilson St, #2
What happens when you put a visual artist in a room with a brewer, a curator, and
a team of designers? First, they band together under the collective name Civic
Exchange Society (CES). Then, they create a series of delicious, high-concept craft
beverages packaged in a minimalist can that also functions as a device to decode
passages of utopian text.
This October, CES introduces CES-002 Liberated Passions Cider, the second release
in its line of craft beverages developed as part of the museum’s ongoing collaboration
with artist Meg Mitchell, Octopi Brewing, and Art & Sons. Made from apples,
plums, and passionfruit, CES-002 Liberated Passions Cider is a flavorfully fruity
cider with a bite of tartness.
Octopi Brewing generously donates a percentage of profits from CES sales to support
MMoCA and its ongoing projects. The cider will be available for purchase at grocery
stores and Food Fight restaurants, including Fresco, Avenue Club, Bassett Street
Brunch Club, Canteen, Cento, Craftsman Table & Tap, DLUX, Everly, Luigi’s Pizza,
Johnny Delmonico’s, and Miko Poke.
Join CES on October 11 for a special tasting celebration at Art and Sons’ studio.
