Mineral Point is nestled centrally between Madison, WI and Dubuque, IA and was the first city in Wisconsin to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's a small, rural community of about 2,500 people but hosts a vibrant and unique arts scene.

Mineral Point has attracted artists and creative types for decades. From potters to painters, woodworkers to weavers, and everything in between – there is some serious talent going on here. Join us for Gallery Night and get inspired during these late night events. Now in it’s 25th year, Gallery Night is always on the first Saturdays of April, June, August, and December.

On Gallery Night, participating businesses stay open late with an emphasis on “bonus, late night” shopping from 5pm-9pm. Local galleries will oftentimes showcase a special artist, new artwork, or host the opening night of a new show or exhibit. Lots of shops have small treats and drinks to enjoy too as you're browsing around. Come explore this historic city and experience all the beautiful things our creative community has to offer!

While the title suggests it is all about the galleries, it’s not just that. Gallery Nights have morphed into a community event on these nights. Many restaurants choose to feature food specials and other more niche businesses might choose these nights to do something special pertaining to their specific business.

Gallery Night is a great opportunity to stroll the streets soaking up the nightlife and getting inspired by what our local creatives have up their sleeves. Join us in 2025 as Gallery Night celebrates its 25th year.

”So fun to shop and see these gorgeous buildings lit from within! Where else can you shop and eat in an all-stone downtown?”
