We will leave at 5:30 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center at 475 Valley Street, and return to the WaterFire Arts Center around 7:30 pm.
This tour will be via trolley or mini coach. It will be led by Gallery Night Guide Danielle Wolfrum with Guest Guide Kristen Adamo, president and CEO of the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau (PWCVB). We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Chazan Family Gallery at Rhode Island College presents Corporeal Reflections featuring the work of sculptor Elvis Rodriguez and painter/ceramicist Sam Lowder, who explore themes relating to the human body, religion, visual perception, sexuality, and decay.
“Germination” Mural at Rhode Island College. “Germination” is a new mural by Lena Mac commissioned by RISCA and Rhode Island College. Inspired by the natural world, Mac’s work combines figurative symbols with abstracted forms to create metaphorical spaces that contemplate mysterious aspects of the world around us.
New Harvest Coffee & Spirits. New Harvest presents photographs by Robert W. Easton in the exhibit Baubles, Bangles, and Beads: The Treasures of Wolf E. Myrow. Myrow is a jewelry supplier that provides vintage and new jewelry making supplies in a fascinating visual environment.
WaterFire Arts Center. WaterFire Arts Center welcomes the work of over 100 artists in its new exhibit, NetWorks Rhode Island and the Chazan Collection: A Half-Century of RI Artistic Patronage. Celebrating the artistic community of RI & their champion, Dr. Joseph A. Chazan, this exhibit brings together a previous portrait project by Dr Chazan, works from his collection, & new submissions by RI Artists. Also enjoy sips, snacks, and live music as part of the weekly Thursday Night TroopTop celebration!

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!
