Art. Wine. Jazz. One perfect Friday night downtown.

The Naomi Patten Collective returns to Palace for a special Fall ArtScene edition of Downtown After Dark on Friday, October 2 from 8:30–10:30PM.

Led by acclaimed trumpeter Naomi Patten, this talented ensemble brings a fresh, dynamic sound to the Palace stage, blending jazz with soulful, contemporary energy. After their incredible first performance with us this summer, we couldn’t think of a better group to provide the soundtrack for one of downtown Rockford’s biggest nights for the arts.

This performance takes place alongside Fall ArtScene: “Pairings”, Palace’s first ArtScene exhibition, featuring work by Jenny Mathews, Drew Eurek, Carly Rose, and Abigail Pixler. Explore the exhibition throughout the evening, then grab a glass, settle in, and let the night roll into late-night jazz.

Art worth lingering over. Wine worth savoring. Jazz worth staying late for.
