transforming the city
During this event, Galleries’ Nights turns the City of Angels into a huge, immersive, mesmerizing and festive art platform, showcasing contemporary art in all its forms, for free. Visitors are invited to go from one gallery to another, by their own means or on one of our dedicated tuktuks which will travel through specific routes for two nights, free of charge.
This 8th edition of Galleries’ Night in Bangkok will last for two nights and gather more than 70 galleries and art spaces, which are exceptionally open from 5 pm till late, in Silom, Sathorn and Riverside areas on Friday, November 26th and Ari, Pathumwan and Sukhumvit areas on Saturday, November 27th, 2021. With the theme “Art is the Solution”, this event is designed to remind us that art transcends the hurdles of life, and brings us emotions and reflections and even in the most difficult of times.
Many galleries and art spaces feature late openings with special events; opening receptions, talks, performances, screenings and more. Volunteers will accompany you in each gallery to showcase the artworks and walk you through your personal artistic journey.

Art is the Solution
Have you ever felt like Art answered questions you asked yourself? Or on the opposite, does Art leave you asking yourself even more questions, helping you develop your own, personal reflection?
Can Art get us out of our heads, change our mental space, show us the way towards the light? Can it fill our minds with colors and shapes we could never have envisioned ourselves? Can it give us a newfound sense of beauty, of truth?
Does it help us get inside the head of a renowned artist and see things from their perspective? Does it help give us new ideas, new ways of seeing the world, and change our outtake?
And, is Art the way to get us out when we have been confined, blinded, deprived of physical interaction? Can it provide us with a renewed sense of transcendence, help us remember the creativity of the world, and remind us that there is so much more to be created tomorrow?
Art does all of these things. Art is our Solution. It is up to you to find out how it is yours.
