Shows will be discounted to $5 all day and they will be open until 10 p.m. for attendees to warm up and walk through exhibits.

“The Gateway is the perfect place to ring in the new year. We’re located in the heart of downtown with easy access to public transit. With our new public art installations, it’s really transformed into a special place. We host more than 160 community events every year and know how important it is to provide a space for the community to gather. We have some really exceptional things in store for Last Hurrah and can’t wait to celebrate.”
