We will leave at 6:30 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center at 475 Valley Street, and return to the WaterFire Arts Center around 8:30 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Irene Yibirin (fluent in English and Spanish!) and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
La Galería del Barrio | PVD. Located inside the Southside Cultural Center (SCCRI) on Broad Street, La Galería del Barrio is Providence's first urban art gallery dedicated solely to the art of Latinx, Afro-Latino and Indigenous-Latinx art. Gallery curator Marta V. Martínez with support from David Sánchez of SCC, brings the best in local art and artists to showcase Rhode Island's position as a true art mecca.
The Gallery at Sprout CoWorking. The Gallery at Sprout CoWorking is proud to present a group show from Sam Sparling, Vesna Longton, and Ruth Hauzinger. This exhibit is a multimedia showcase of organic forms, works and shapes that show us the beauty in life through these three different and unique perspectives.
WaterFire Arts Center. When I Get Home, a month-long group exhibition by the 2023-2024 WaterFire Accelerate Cohort, features the works of Kannetha Brown, Sydney Darrow, Emily Gray, Andrea Pascual, Adolfo Peralta, and Leiyana Simone Pereira. Ranging across a wide variety of media, these six artists are united by their collective interests in their roots, grief and growth. Exploring the human condition and connection, When I Get Home provides a space for all to commemorate the self, family, and loved ones. Also enjoy sips, snacks, and live music as part of the weekly Thursday Night TroopTop celebration!
