Fifteen partner spaces form Routes A, B and C, with MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum offered as a limited-capacity special route on Saturday. Participating venues stay open until 10:00 PM, and registered visitors can use free red-truck transport from the CMU Art and Culture Center.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p>The Faculty of Fine Arts at Chiang Mai University presents the event in collaboration with Thailand&#8217;s Department of Cultural Promotion, Ministry of Culture, and the Embassy of France in Thailand. The format makes it possible to experience several sides of Chiang Mai&#8217;s art scene in one evening, from independent studios and contemporary galleries to cultural museums and experimental creative spaces.<\/p>\n\n    <p>Fahlanna Art Museum is stop B5 on the regular network. Located on Wiang Kaew Road in Chiang Mai&#8217;s Old City, the museum explores Lanna history and living culture through artifacts, textiles, photography, projection, sound and immersive installations. Its participation adds a distinctly Northern Thai cultural layer to an evening that also includes contemporary and international art spaces.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"sbs-note\">\n      <p><strong>Important:<\/strong> The organizer confirms that galleries will remain open until 10:00 PM, but no single citywide start time is stated.
