Gallery tips for Saint John

A few things worth knowing before you work through Saint John's art galleries:

• Check for late openings at Cobalt Art Gallery. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
• Check for artist talks at The Station House Arts Collective. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.
