Artists' Night
to
Madison visual artists created Artists' Night in fall 2022 as an alternative to the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s biennial Gallery Night, in the wake of concerns about unequal treatment of artists and boycotts of the Wisconsin Triennial. The event returns for spring two nights of open studios, gallery receptions and art in spaces you may not expect, like Busse’s Markway Tavern. Find a map and a full list of locations at communicationmadison.com.
media release: Artists and venues in Madison want to make more opportunities to share our work with each other, so we have decided to create another opportunity to do so: Artists’ Night.
Additionally, many of the venues are boycotting MMoCA Gallery Night this November in solidarity with the artists of the Wisconsin Triennial. Whether they are boycotting or not, venues all over Madison will be participating in this alternative to the city's traditional gallery night. Please visit the FWD: truth website to learn more about why many of us are calling for accountability from MMoCA.
