Spend the last Gallery Night of the season with us! We will leave at 6:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 8:00 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Bradly VanDerStad via trolley or mini coach and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
CIC Providence is hosting a pop-up gallery at Venture Café Providence through the Artists of CIC initiative. This exhibit, Roots and Routes, invites artists to reflect on the paths we’ve traveled and the origins we carry within us. It explores themes of transition, growth, and connection to self, heritage, and community. Throughout the exhibit, guests can enjoy networking, special programming, drinks and light fare.
AS220 Main Gallery presents the colorful fabric collages and ribbon quiltings by Cranston artist Carol “Cat” Wiseman as well as Inner Communications and Outer Response by Jack Ellis, a collection of mixed media work on loose canvas, cardboard, and more.
AS220 Aborn Gallery welcomes viewers to New and Selected Works, 1968 to 2024 by Don Smith, who works in a range of media including painting, drawing, watercolor, collage, and monoprint. This particular exhibition showcases his body of expressionist work.
RISD Museum The RISD Museum has a variety of different exhibits on view. On the Gallery Night tour, you can get a taste of the many amazing exhibits that the museum has to offer! Explore the show Sensory Silhouettes : Experiencing South Asian Garments before it ends next month, an immersive exhibit with audio narrations and textile samples for viewers to touch.

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.
