The Goldmark Cultural Center’s John H. Milde Gallery is proud to present “Night Shift”, a group exhibition of works by 22 selected nighttime artists of the Goldmark artist community and Dallas artist community, curated by Goldmark artist Raymond Butler.
The exhibition is on display from 16 February 2026 to 27 March 2026, with a reception on Saturday, 28 February, from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
About the Exhibition
The Night Shift exhibition explores the creative energy that emerges after dark, during the hours when most of the world is asleep and silence takes over. It reflects a type of making that exists outside the traditional nine to five, where artists find clarity, focus, and freedom in the stillness of midnight. For these artists, the night is an uninterrupted space where ideas expand and distractions fade.
This exhibition features resident artists from the Goldmark artist community, alongside members of the Dallas art community, who primarily create during the late-night hours. The show brings together a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, found object, mixed media, fibers, 3-D printing, and drawing.

About the curator:
Raymond Butler is a multidisciplinary artist whose work revisits his childhood growing up in South Dallas in the 90s. Each piece is a snapshot of the small moments food, cartoons, neighborhood adventures, and family challenges that shaped how he saw the world. Through vibrant color and playful exaggerated imagery, he recreates the humor and survival of those years. Every artwork is a different memory and story but all of them come from the same place.
