Spend the last Gallery Night of the season with us! We will leave at 5:45 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center at 475 Valley Street, and return to the same location around 7:45 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Emily Gray via trolley or mini coach and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Anahid Ypres Art Studio Get an inside look at the artist’s studio and appreciate seeing both in progress & finished paintings! Her work touches on subjects ranging from landscapes & the figure, to abstract still lifes.
RI Center for Photographic Arts hosts their 6th Annual Open Community Member Exhibition: Be a Friend & Bring a Friend. Artwork is available to be purchased by visitors directly off the wall. Join us on Gallery Night for the opening reception of this community building event featuring the work of RICPA members.
The Chazan Gallery at Wheeler presents Mo Kelman’s solo show, Water Ways. She creates sculptures using malleable materials that merge abstract images of water with industrial architecture. “The natural world is forever transforming and adaptable. My artwork contemplates and celebratesnature’s relentless power, and compares it with a built world that inevitably gives way,” the artist states. The opening reception will be held on Gallery Night!
WaterFire Arts Center invites visitors to BuyArt, a small works holiday show featuring 30+ artists. The show encourages visitors to support local artists by giving the gift of art for the holidays and purchasing small works right 'off the wall'. New works will be added as works sell.

Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the trolleys we hire for Gallery Night cannot accommodate wheelchairs.

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.
