Join us for the FIRST Gallery Night of 2025! We will leave at 5:30 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center, and finish our tour at that same location around 7:30 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Irene Yibirin and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Providence College Galleries is delighted to announce Sandplay, an ongoing collaboration between artists Mirthe Berentsen and Martín La Roche. The exhibition explores the transformative value of storytelling and memories associated with tangible objects, posing the question: How do personal objects shape our stories and connect us to others?
Bannister Gallery presents Spell, Time, Practice, American, Body: The Work of RaMell Ross. This two-time Academy Award Nominated filmmaker explores the meaning and mythology of the American South and of Black identity through large format color photographs.
The Avenue Concept invites you to an open house at their headquarters, where you’ll visit their legal graffiti wall and view a special presentation of outdoor video projections.
WaterFire Arts Center announces Graphic Voices of Latin America, a powerful collection of Latin American posters that serve as both artistic expressions and historical documents of resistance, resilience, and cultural identity. Curated by José R. Menéndez and Tatiana Gómez of Buena Gráfica Social Studio, this exhibition presents graphic works from 16 countries across Latin America.

Accessibility notes:
Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the trolleys we hire for Gallery Night cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
All tours involve some walking and some stops may include stairs.
We invite wheelchair users to enjoy self-guided tours on Gallery Night, and have created some suggestions (Make Your Own Tour 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.
