Join us as part of Providence’s 3 Nights of Lights programming on Thursday, December 5! We will leave at 6 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street. This trolley tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Rex M. Blumenthal. You will visit the following locations and exhibits:
RI Center for Photographic Arts hosts their 6th Annual Open Community Member Exhibition: Be a Friend & Bring a Friend. Artwork is available to be purchased by visitors directly off the wall. Join us on Gallery Night for the opening reception of this community building event featuring the work of RICPA members.
WaterFire Arts Center invites visitors to BuyArt, a small works holiday show featuring 30+ artists. The show encourages visitors to support local artists by giving the gift of art for the holidays and purchasing small works right 'off the wall'. New works will be added as works sell.
The Avenue Concept Activation: She Never Came / Salt Water - TAC will host illuminated and animated murals in the Mathewson Street Lot, including Garden of Journey’s Salt Water, BEZT’s She Never Came.
All tours include Storytelling of Grant’s Block, Westminster History with Marisa Angell Brown of Providence Preservation Society and a warming stop for a complimentary Wine Tasting at ENO Fine Wines!

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 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!
