Gallery Night Hours Extended, Gallery Guide Abroad the Trolley
Erie, PA, July 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Increasing attendance and popularity of Gallery Night, an evening of free gallery events, has prompted organizers to extend the gallery tour hours and also add a gallery guide or “hostess” aboard EMTA’s Bayliner Trolley.
Accents By The Bay, Allen Stoneware Gallery, Artworks Gallery and Clayspace Studio, Bayfront Gallery, Glass Growers Gallery, Kada Gallery, Kuhn’s Framing and Gift Gallery, Relish Inc. Studio and Gallery, Urraro Gallery and the galleries at the Erie Art Museum will host Gallery Night on Friday, Aug. 22 from 6-10 p.m.
“We’ve found that visitors are feeling rushed to visit the galleries in a tighter period of time,” said Tammy Roche, director of marketing and development for the Erie Art Museum. “This time around, visitors have a bit of extra time, hopefully encouraging them to make it to more galleries in one evening.”
Also added this time around, according to Roche is a hostess aboard EMTA’s Bayliner Trolley. “A member of the Museum’s education staff will ride the trolley throughout the night, announcing departures and assisting gallery-goers with any questions that they may have.”
EMTA’s Bayliner will be providing free shuttle transportation from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Trolley maps and schedules are available at each gallery or by calling the Erie Art Museum at 814-459-5477.
Participating galleries will be offering visitors a chance to win a $50 gift certificate as an incentive to attract patrons into touring their galleries.
