We will leave at 5:30 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 7:30 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Danielle Wolfrum and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Studio Hop. Studio Hop is a local studio and shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, and clothing.
Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island. Dining in the Diaspora is a group exhibition by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island about food, tradition, and welcoming folks to their literal and proverbial tables. Throughout two thousand years of exile the cuisine and customs of the Jewish diaspora have both influenced and been influenced by the cultures of their neighbors everywhere in the world in an ever-evolving culinary conversation. This exhibition is an opportunity to share stories of food, diaspora, and art about the act of welcoming, featuring the work of 20 local artists.
Paper Nautilus. Baiting Hollow at Paper Nautilus features collaborative and individual artworks by Kate Salke and Sylvia Atwood. The artists use found materials such as couch cushions and rock slabs as surfaces for oil pastel drawings and sculptural compositions. Gravity and levity unite in a curious puzzle of repeating forms, exploring permanence and passage.

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.
