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 Irene Yibirin (fluent in English, Spanish, and French) and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
RI Center for Photographic Arts. The “Fifth Annual Juried Spotlight Members' Exhibition” will feature work from Members: Lee Cott, Laurie Peek, Reed Pike, Keith Prue, Matt Temple, Sean Sullivan and Martha Wakefield. One of three annual member exhibitions, this Spotlight series was conceived as a way to present ideas that carry across a group of images and to shine a light on our members. Enjoy this expanded look at the members featured and the different ways they assembled a selection of images to present an idea beyond a single frame.
Studio Hop is a local studio & shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, & clothing.
RISD Museum. The RISD Museum has a variety of different exhibits on view. On the Gallery Night tour, you can get a taste of the many amazing exhibits that the museum has to offer! This month, explore their newest exhibition Listen!, curated by the RISD art circle, a group of teens from RI and MA.

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. RI Center for Photographic Arts is on the 2nd floor of a building with no elevator.
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.
