More of a dependable sign of the change in seasons than any actual shift in the weather, Fall Gallery Night blows open doors around the city Sept. 6.
Organized by the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association, Gallery Night is a series of concurrent open houses at museums, galleries and pop-up spaces across Panther City and Arlington.
Gallery Night arrives every fall and spring to support local artists and encourage longtime art lovers and newcomers to explore spaces across the region in a relaxed environment.
Most art venues are open from noon through 9 p.m., but times vary for each spot. Click here to check out each gallery’s hours before heading over.
If you’re looking for a curated trip, hop on board Art Tooth’s Gallery Night party bus as it makes multiple stops from 4:30-8:30 p.m. Afterwards, head to Hotel Dryce and Fort Works Art for their joint block party in the Cultural District.
A west Fort Worth art gallery is participating in its final Fall Gallery Night before it permanently closes its doors in November. Find more details on the closure below as well as other local exhibitions we plan on visiting during the citywide event.
