Join us for this year’s Glow Party. Enjoy art making, visits to exhibitions, and DJ Rise Ashen live!

Our sensational winter Glow Party is back! For one night only, the Scotiabank Great Hall will be transformed into a black-light zone, where visitors of all ages can glow, craft, and immerse themselves in a world of vibrant colour.

Make your own glowing accessory, and enjoy a 3 to See art tour. The Inspiration Space, and the learning space in Winter Count: Embracing the Cold, will also feature creative activities.

Dress in neon or crisp winter whites for the full effect, and prepare to be dazzled by all the Gallery has to offer. Advance tickets (free) are strongly encouraged.

Visit the Gallery for free on Thursday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
