On Friday, Oct. 21, from 5–9 pm, Gallery Night Pensacola’s theme of “Fright Night!” will highlight the art of the spooky season and that slight chill in the autumn air.
Gallery Night Pensacola’s unique monthly themes set the tone for each event’s art, performers, musical performance stages, and activities that are sure to please. Gallery Night is an all-ages community arts and culture event on the third Friday of each month from 5–9 pm, made possible by community partner, Publix.
Explore our extensive art zones, sponsored by T-Mobile, hosting more than 50 local artisans and their unique creations in open-air tents along the street sides.
Gallery Night’s October Featured Artist is a collective of artists, members of the Pensacola Muralists. View live paintings created by members Caroline Holland, Eniko Ujj, Patty Sauces, and Dylan Nadsady throughout the evening.
The Pensacola Muralists is a collective group of artists from Pensacola and its surrounding areas practicing various art styles, including graffiti, lettering, realism, pop art, and more. Their purpose is to celebrate street art, strengthen Pensacola’s local art community, and lift their industry through resources and education. The artists are all independent freelancers who have come together and organized the collective to create a strong network, share resources, and offer shadow and training opportunities.
Are you interested in learning more about the Pensacola Muralists? Come out and see the artists painting live, and you will have a chance to meet, greet, and speak with members of the collective.
