Celebrate Art After Dark in downtown Kingston
On Friday, Sept. 24, 2021, Art After Dark returns to downtown Kingston. Art galleries and art-loving businesses are once again opening their doors so art enthusiasts can start or add to their personal art collections.
Art After Dark will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in various locations in the downtown core. During the free event, Kingstonians will be able to tour downtown galleries, enjoy great conversation and view compelling art, all while maintaining physical distancing based on KFL&A Public Health guidelines, according to a release from the Downtown Kingston! BIA. If visitors are not able to tour the galleries while maintaining physical distancing, businesses will encourage them to return at another time to enjoy the art.
Patrons of Art After Dark can enter to win $500 towards the purchase of original art from a participating gallery or business. Ballots will be available at all locations, so fill one out at each stop and up your chances of winning!
