The art doesn’t stop at 9. Neither do we.

After an evening spent exploring Fall ArtScene: “Pairings,” keep the party going at Palace with our official Fall ArtScene After Party on Saturday, October 3, featuring a special acoustic performance from Gilded Cages.

One of Rockford’s standout original alternative rock bands, Gilded Cages is known for a sound that usually leans big, electric, and unapologetically rock & roll. Their 2024 album Real and Human helped establish the band locally, and they’ve even been featured on WNIJ’s Sessions from Studio A.

For ArtScene, they’re stripping things down.

Join us for a more intimate acoustic set from Gilded Cages, bringing their original music into the cozy atmosphere of Palace for a completely different way to experience the band.

And because a night celebrating the arts deserves to last a little longer, our kitchen will stay open late until 11PM. Order a board, pour another glass, settle in, and keep your ArtScene night going with us.

Fall ArtScene: “Pairings” | 4–9PM
After Party + Gilded Cages | 9PM
Wine flowing late
Late Night Kitchen | Open until 11PM

Whether you’ve been gallery-hopping all evening or you’re joining us just for the music, come raise a glass to the artists, musicians, makers, and creative energy that make Rockford worth celebrating. Palace’s Pairings exhibition features work from Jenny Mathews, Drew Eurek, Carly Rose, and Abigail Pixler.

See the art. Stay for the music. Eat late. Drink wine. Celebrate downtown.

ArtScene doesn’t have to end at 9.
