An Evening of Art, Community, and Creative Energy
Join us for the very first North Park Gallery Nights — a relaxed, art-forward evening in the heart of downtown North Park. This pilot event brings together local creative spaces for a shared celebration of art, neighborhood, and connection.
Follow our map to wander between galleries and studios, explore street art, and be immersed in the creative energy that lives right here in our community. With unique exhibits, offerings, and experiences at each stop it’s the perfect way to spend a San Diego summer evening.
✨ This first Gallery Night is a test run — a chance to see what’s possible. We’re hoping for strong turnout, great feedback, and the kind of response that tells us to keep building. If the energy is there, we’d love to grow this into a regular tradition for North Parkers and neighbors who believe in the power of local art. Please peruse the details provided below and check back for updates between now and Sept. 18th!
