Seven galleries in the swanky 798 Art Zone in Beijing will stage the fifth Gallery Night this Thursday, keeping their doors open until 9 pm to all art enthusiasts, especially the professionals who can't make it during regular opening hours.

Initiated by Red Gate Gallery's founder Brian Wallace in May, the event has attracted a number of galleries in the zone. Six other participating galleries this time include U Gallery, Boers-Li Gallery, HdM Gallery, PIFO Gallery, Platform China, and Triumph Gallery.

Visitors can take a stroll from one gallery to another, enjoying art shows, music, and snacks, all free of charge.
