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 Jenn Wilson. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
AS220 Aborn Gallery is showing “Dear You” by Ruby T. Lopez Rios. Ruby (she/her/hers) is a Puerto Rican poet and visual artist that works with a fusion of mixed media such as acrylic paint, charcoal, textiles, and poetry. Her artwork acts as an outlet to understand the surreal nature of life’s absurdity and explores the finite nature of not only life and interpersonal relations, but culture and struggles of disenfranchised people.
David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University will present a comprehensive survey exhibition of artist Barbara T. Smith. The exhibition will survey Smith’s bold experimentation and celebrate Smith’s incomparable contributions to contemporary art, feminism, performance, and technology. This includes the artist’s radical Xerox works, mixed media assemblages, sculptures, artist’s books, drawings, paintings, photographs, and videos.
Studio Hop is a local studio and shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, and clothing.
RI Center for Photographic Arts is showcasing their “10th International Juried Exhibition,” juried by Karen Haas of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The work in this exhibition was selected from an international call for entries to provide an updated look at current photographic practice, with 60 photographs from artists from 20 different states and Washington DC.

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.
