Gallery Night- Holiday Edition
Erie, PA, November 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Galleries throughout town usher in the holiday shopping season with a holiday edition of Gallery Night on Friday, Dec. 4, 2009, from 7-9 p.m.
“There’s nothing like giving a locally-made handcrafted gift. Erie’s galleries offer unique gifts such as fine art, art classes, professional framing, memberships and more. You are not going to find these handcrafted gifts at the Big Box Stores,” said Tammy Roche director of marketing and development for the Erie Art Museum. “Gallery Night was in part created to support local commerce.”
Gallery Night coincides with the Erie Downtown’s Downtown D’Lights event. Perry Square and State Street light-up for the holidays at 6 p.m. and entertainment as well as a visit with Santa are planned for the concourse of the Boston Store.
Accents By The Bay, Allen Stoneware Gallery, Cummings Gallery at Mercyhurst College, Geary’s Studio 7 Gallery, Glass Growers Gallery, Old Main at Mercyhurst College, Ralph Miller Jewelers & Gallery, Schuster Gallery at Gannon University, Urraro Gallery and the galleries at the Erie Art Museum will host Gallery Night.
Always a popular way to get around Gallery Night, EMTA’s Bayliner will be providing free 1 hour shuttle transportation from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Trolley maps and schedules are available at each gallery or by calling the Erie Art Museum at 814-459-5477 or by visiting www.erieartmuseum.org.
Participating galleries will be offering visitors a chance to win a $25 gift certificate as an incentive to attract patrons into touring their galleries.
