In Their Words

Why People Keep Coming Back

I have attended every Gallery Night since I moved to the city a few months ago as a young professional. This is such a great way to get to know local artists, drink some wine, have some fun, and look at some beautiful artwork. I really enjoy going every month and checking out the different art galleries around the city. Wonderful variety and non-intimidating art scene.

This is a great idea, in part, because the quality of the art can vary. The eclectic nature of the tours makes this a great experience. If you can get a small group together, it can be the first step to a really great night. Providence is now a good city to walk around and go to bars and clubs with a good conversation already started from the tour.

Gallery Night Providence should definitely be on your bucket list. My friend got me tickets to see 3 different galleries, and they were all so unique! It was nice to hear the artists explain the thought process behind the painting, as well as speak with them if you had any questions. Paintings were for sale at a reasonable price. Some galleries even had selections of wine, water, cheese, and crackers, which was a nice touch. I would definitely do this again since every gallery night is different.

I love getting to meet other artists, looking at art, and just getting to connect with the community.

Gallery Night Providence is always a great time. This was my first time leaving from The Graduate. It was very smooth, and lots of restaurants nearby to go to after your tour.
