The Art Gallery of Alberta is transforming after hours for the most unforgettable evening.
In Edmonton, the Art Gallery of Alberta will be hosting Art Party: Studio, a night where you can dance, explore immersive exhibitions and live figure drawings, join art battles and workshops, and enjoy cocktails until late. No matter if you’re there for the art or just a good time, a fantastic evening is guaranteed.
What to expect
As for the art gallery itself, you can visit it on its own from Wednesday through Sunday, but this event is for those 18 and over, so once you’ve crossed that bridge, the party can begin on Friday, Dec. 5.
You can expect the most creative holiday vibes, complete with live music, live figurative drawing art battles, a festive photo booth, art tours, and more. There will even be some immersive exhibitions for guests to explore throughout the night.
When you arrive, you’ll even get some sweet treats, a signature cocktail or mocktail, and a surprise party favour included with your ticket.
Guests are encouraged to let their style shine at this art party. Come dressed in a look blending creativity, glamour, and individuality, and channel your inner artist.
Some suggested attire includes elegant and expressive (cocktail attire with artistic twist-bold colours, daring patterns, and standout accessories), glam and chic (sequins, metallics, and statement pieces), or comfortable elegance. If you’re still not sure what to wear, cocktail attire with a creative edge is the go-to.
Tickets are $100 per person and are on sale now. The party is this Friday, so get your tickets soon and guarantee yourself a weekend of art madness.
It’s one night only, and you won’t want to miss it.
This party follows the annual Holly Ball, a creative black-tie event held by the art gallery each year. The limited-ticket event is a festive celebration beginning with a sit-down dinner featuring inspired culinary creations, followed by a night of live entertainment and “unique art experiences”.
With these two events combined, the Art Gallery of Alberta will host the most showstopping evening possible for everyone around.
When: Friday, Dec. 5, 2025
Time: 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Where: 2 Sir Winston Churchill Sq., Edmonton, Alta.
Cost: $100
