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.
