November 21 Gallery Night - 5:15 pm tour details announced!

Spend the last Gallery Night of the season with us! We will leave at 5:15 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 7:15 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Frank Toti via trolley or mini coach and will visit the following locations and exhibits:

  • The Gallery at City Hall, presenting the work of artists Kannetha Brown and Tarik Bartel in their exhibition titled YEAY YAI: An Ode to Grandmothers. Experience the stories of their beloved Southeast Asian grandmothers captured in each frame by these two talented portrait photographers.

  • 134 Collaborative / Mathewson Street Church, exhibiting Cardboard Paintings from the Space Transformation Station by @MinioMindWarp, collection and collage of individually painted cardboard cut-outs created for protest, celebration and transformation of public space and private places. The Exhibit will be a mix of the paintings that were made for advocacy efforts for the Homeless and displaced citizens of RI and will include some fantastical elements intended to create surreal "eye candy" in "real world" settings.

  • AS220 Project Space Experience GORO, an exhibition of recent work by Chris Kilduff, including comic illustrations, collage, and mixed media pieces including plushies, skateboard decks, epoxy, and other odds and ends!

  • Providence Art Club presents The 120th Annual Little Pictures Show & Sale, the oldest and largest exhibition of small works in the United States. This year’s show features over 700 original works of all kinds, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, jewelry, glass, fine woodworking, and more. There is something for everyone at this exhibition of local, affordable work!

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.

And…enjoy a sneak peek of some of the artwork you can see at these spaces on gallery night!
