After Hours Gallery

OPEN

Sundays 10-4

Tuesdays 3-7

Our 2025 After Hours gallery opening brought in over 160 visitors, filling the space with incredible energy and conversation. The show features 23 Wisconsin-based artists, each bringing their own perspective and creativity to the collection.

Together, we raised over $10,000 to support Photo Opp’s 2026 programming — funding that directly fuels creative opportunities and community impact right here in our city.

Huge thanks to our sponsors for helping make this show possible and for believing in the power of local art and storytelling.

Every visit, every donation, every conversation helps us keep the lights on, cameras clicking, and creativity flowing — thank you for being part of it.

After Hours is a collection of images that explores the liminal space between day and night: where mystery, intimacy, rebellion, rest, and revelation reside. From the solitude of midnight streets to the buzz of nightlife, from quiet reflection to secret rendezvous, our After Hours gallery reveals what’s hidden in plain sight after the world stops watching.

This year’s gallery features three local photographers alongside selected works from our wider community through an open submission and blind jury process.

This year’s After Hours gallery is our most diverse yet! 264 photos were submitted from 88 artists, more than half came from photographers new to Photo Opp, showcasing the growing reach of our community. With nearly a 50% increase in submissions compared to last year, we’re thrilled to welcome both fresh voices and returning artists to share their work in this year’s exhibition.
