Take an Uber or a Lyft to the Graduate or WaterFire Arts Center and hop on a tour. Enjoy an evening at the galleries, without having to deal with parking!

Accessibility
All tours involve some walking and some stops may include stairs.
Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the trolleys we hire for Gallery Night cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
We invite wheelchair users to enjoy self-guided tours on Gallery Night. Two weeks before the big night, we post suggestions for self-guided tours, including notes on which galleries are wheelchair accessible, on the Make Your Own Tour tab of this site.
