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 Rosemary Rocchio with Guest Guide Michael Rose will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
The Armenian Historical Association of Rhode Island (AHARI) explores the vibrancy of the Armenian community through the over 200 food-related businesses established and run by Armenians. With these companies, this still thriving piece of history is explored in their museum to highlight the contributions of the Armenian community to the state of Rhode Island.
Galerie le Domaine at Domain Properties presents the work of Jamie Murphy Hlynsky, American painter and collage artist. With a background as a professional illustrator and propmaker, she also works in the fine arts with her paintings and collages, with many of her works being exhibited in several museums, galleries, and private collections.
The Chazan Gallery at Wheeler showcases contemporary art for local, regional, and national artists to provide the opportunity to display their artwork and engage with the local community. The gallery will be presenting the last day of their All School Show, exhibiting the work of students of all ages.
The David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University presents a comprehensive survey exhibition of artist Barbara T. Smith. An innovator within the performance art movement of the late 1960s, Smith has long produced work that explores the self, sexuality, gender roles, physical and spiritual sustenance, love, life, and death. Assembling an expansive range of artwork and performance-related ephemera, the exhibition will survey Smith’s bold experimentation.
