We will leave at 5:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 7:00 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Frank Toti and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Asterfields. Asterfields is an independent design house where art meets life, celebrating the intersection of craft, color, and creativity. The studio designs products to be lived in, treasured, and worn out, and strives to inspire self-expression and celebrate the individuality of their customers. On view this month, founder Nicole Deponte’s work and oil paintings by artist Holly Wach.
Art in the Atrium First U. Art in the Atrium, a program focused on inspiring the community by presenting work by artists with diverse viewpoints, is holding their 2024 Member Show. The theme and the works in this exhibition will explore the Unitarian Universalist Principles.
AS220 Main Gallery. AS220 Main Gallery presents Sueña Conmigo by Jessica Reyes and Growing Pains by Callie Mulahey. Sueña Conmigo reflects the motivations of creation while enduring hardships of immigration and navigating cultural heritage. Reyes shares their interdisciplinary practice of tattooing and mixed media arts influenced by their indigenous Guatemalan roots. In Growing Pains, Mulahey presents a series of paintings and ceramic vessels illustrating a “quarter life crisis” marked by second guessing, unlearning, daydreaming, and healing, using nature and personal experiences to show the challenges of personal and creative growth.
AS220 Aborn Gallery. At the AS220 Aborn Gallery, experience Fox’s Wedding, a group exhibit that brings together the figurative and abstract works of Julian MacMillian, Amanda Grey, and Ashley Pelletier. Their work sparks conversation between visual languages and the history of painting through bold uses of color and shared themes on memory and emotion.

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.
