Free First Friday Nights presented by BMO
Fri Oct 3, 2025 | 4–8 PM
Visit the Gallery for FREE on the first Friday evening of every month!
Thanks to the generous support of BMO, admission to the Gallery is FREE for all visitors from 4 to 8 PM on the first Friday of every month.
Please reserve your spot in advance to guarantee entry into the Gallery. Walk-in tickets are also available based on capacity. Tickets are released one month in advance.
Admission is always free for children and youth aged 18 and under, Indigenous peoples, Gallery Members and Access Pass Holders.
Tickets are limited to two per group due to fire safety and building capacity. Large groups may be turned away due to capacity limits and high volume at the door.
If you are a Gallery Member and are planning a visit on a Free First Friday Night, you are still required to book an admission ticket in advance. Member Guests are also required to book a Free First Friday ticket to guarantee entry.
