Art Night 2018
EXTENSIVE PROGRAMME OF MORE THAN 50 PROJECTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SECOND ITERATION OF ART NIGHT OPEN
This year’s edition of Art Night – London’s largest free contemporary arts festival – is co-curated by Hayward Gallery and takes place on the night of Saturday 7 July. The programme includes new artist commissions and premieres alongside one-off artist projects and events by both emerging and internationally renowned artists and curators invited to participate in the second iteration of Art Night Open.
For its third edition, Art Night 2018 will take place between 6.00pm and 6.00am in iconic and off-the-beaten-track venues, along a trail that runs between Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery and Battersea Power Station, through Vauxhall and Nine Elms.
Art Night is generously supported by international auction house Phillips for the third year running. Presented alongside 12 special artist projects curated by Hayward Gallery’s Director Ralph Rugoff and the Exhibitions team, the Art Night Open programme offers local galleries, organisations, independent artists and curators the opportunity to take part in the festival, responding to the 2018 curatorial themes and cultural trail.
Over 50 cultural institutions and local venues will be included in this year’s Art Night Open programme, activating the 2018 trail with contemporary art – ranging from immersive multimedia installations and interactive experiences to screenings, performances and experimental music.
