Join us for the FIRST Gallery Night of 2025! We will leave at 5:15 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and return to the Graduate around 7:15 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Shannon Hadfield accompanied by Guest Guide Tom Scicluna, an artist and Assistant Professor of Art at Florida International University, whose site-based sculptures, interventions, and gestures reconfigure commercially available objects and discarded materials to explore public space, participation, and authorship. The tour will make a stop at his Channel Park Bench at the corner of Empire Street and Fountain Street. You will visit the following locations and exhibits:
AS220 Project Space and Reading Room | Eli Tegus’s exhibition Collapsible Sentinels documents his landscape interventions. “An old bottle can contain mysteries, unknown substances. They have always intrigued me as a link to the past, as vessels of forgotten necessities. They are kindred to landscapes containing ruins; the possibilities of the past motivate my mind.” ALSO on view is Felt in the Fiber. Through the media of assemblage, knit work, wet felting, and lace, Joy Ann Williams explores color, texture, pattern, and image.
Angell Street Galleries presents their Inaugural Exhibition featuring artists John Buron, Susan Clausen, Umberto Crenca, Richard Goulis, Chris Kilduff, Erminio Pinque, and Lindsay Quayle. Angell St. is new to the community – come support their first show!
Galerie le Domaine presents a collection of paintings by Berke Marye. Influenced by the New York school of painters, Marye’s abstract paintings are full of movement and life. Using acrylic paint, water, gel medium and his hands Berke is drawn to color and how far he can push it into conversing with another color.
The Avenue Concept invites you to an open house at their headquarters, where you’ll visit their legal graffiti wall and view a special presentation of outdoor video projections.

Some notes to help you out the night of the event!
We recommend arriving to the Graduate 5 to 10 minutes before your tour time. One of our volunteers will be at a podium with a Gallery Night banner, near the main entrance, and will check you in and answer any questions!
If your plans change, please remember to cancel your Eventbrite reservation so that someone else can enjoy the tour.
Tours occasionally run late. We recommend allowing buffer time if you're planning on attending another event after ours.
