MUSEUM EVENTS 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.
