We will leave at 6:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 8:00 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Shannon Hadfield and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Studio Hop. Studio Hop is a local studio and shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, and clothing.
Kreatelier. Kreatelier, a fabric concept store and interior decor studio, features the work and collection by Sara Ladds. Ladds’ collections combine a particular style of bold pattern and vibrant color with attention to proportion and balance. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design, Sara spent many years as an award-winning graphic designer before fulfilling her dream of being a textile designer, and this background shapes her textiles and style. Ladds will be there to give a brief presentation on her work and answer any questions viewers may have.
Holly Wach Art. Holly Wach’s work focuses on creating portraits and first-hand observations of birds and wildlife in the natural world. Through these encounters, she creates an entry point for the viewer to slow down from a life filled with distractions and form a closer relationship to nature and its creatures. See the artist's studio with both in-progress and finished works, firsthand!

Accessibility notes:
Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the trolleys we hire for Gallery Night cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
All tours involve some walking and some stops may include stairs.
We invite wheelchair users to enjoy self-guided tours on Gallery Night, and have created some suggestions (Make Your Own Tour tab page) where we note which galleries are wheelchair accessible.
Some notes to help you out the night of the event!
We recommend arriving to the Graduate 5 to 10 minutes before your tour time. One of our volunteers will be at a podium with a Gallery Night banner, near the main entrance, and will check you in and answer any questions!
If your plans change, please remember to cancel your Eventbrite reservation so that someone else can enjoy the tour.
Tours occasionally run late. We recommend allowing buffer time if you're planning on attending another event after ours.
