Art After Dark: Fall 2024

For one night only, on Friday, September 27, the Downtown Kingston BIA presents Art After Dark, offering attendees the chance to explore downtown Kingston’s art galleries and shops as they stay open late.

A night of discovery & creativity

Downtown Kingston galleries and art-loving shops will be showcasing the best art in the city, with special surprises along the way. Discover art, jewelry and vintage clothing; be treated to local music, and food and beverage samples – and engage your creative side in hands-on mixed media art, painting and pottery activities.
