Spring is in the air...on our last Gallery Night, we had April showers!
Between our 5 guided tours and folks who visited the galleries and exhibits on their own, we had at least 300 people attend this Gallery Night…some of whom braved the weather for a walking tour to galleries in the downtown area!
More than 20 people joined Gallery Night Guide Frank Toti on a walking tour of downtown art spaces, including stops at the AS220 Main, Aborn, and Project Space Galleries and the BankRI TurksHead Gallery, and discussions about public art and architecture.
We had folks attend Gallery Night from Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and all the way from Illinois, Texas, South Carolina, and Virginia, not to mention from cities and towns throughout Rhode Island!
“Our tour guide (Frank) was excellent. Learning about the history of Providence and the buildings was very enlightening. Enjoyed the murals-they are spectacular. The locations we visited were very interesting.”
“I was at the very first Gallery Night - the Providence Art Trolley - hop on, hop off. Tonight I like the guided interaction with the tour guides, curators, artists, and gallery staff. I LOVE bringing friends to Gallery Night for the first time. I also enjoy the camaraderie among guests on the trolley coaches. I’ve made friends on the trolleys.”
“Gathering with friends and learning about local area artists, history, and culture. (I’m relatively new to RI — two years — and still exploring…)”
