The Wheat City Nuit Blanche returns for the first time since 2019! Live artists and performers will fill the hallways, stairwells and studios of the Art Gallery for an evening of interactive and unique creative projects. Performances will run continuously throughout the evening, so the audience is invited to stop by anytime throughout the event to explore the gallery and discover new sights and sounds – violins, synthesizers, trumpet, choir, cellos, trombone, electronics, percussion, piano, improvisation, projections, installations, live drawing, collective murals, guitar, saxophone, new music ensemble, WALL-E screening and a theremin for you to try!
