Join us for the FIRST Gallery Night of 2025! We will leave at 6:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and finish our tour at that same location around 8:00 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Danielle Wolfrum. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
The Repair Atelier presents the work of artists Markus Berger, Derek Bernstein, and Jeffrey Boomer in Embodied Dialogues. This exhibition explores the interplay between creator and creation, material and meaning, and context and transformation, uncovering the unseen exchanges that shape artistic expression. It invites viewers into an unfolding dialogue, where art is not a static artifact but a resonant act of engagement—an open-ended process of becoming.
RI Center for Photographic Arts celebrates Women’s History Month with Behind the Lens 2025: Women in Photography - 2020 re/visited. This exhibition revisits a group of early-career female artists featured in 2020, presenting an update of how their practice has developed over time.
RISD Museum | Get a taste of the many amazing exhibits housed here, including The Art of French Wallpaper Design, which explores the vibrant designs that adorned walls in the 1700s and 1800s. This exhibition features more than 100 rare samples of salvaged wallpapers, borders, fragments, and design drawings.

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 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.
