We will leave at 5:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 7:00 pm. September tours include exclusive spaces showcased in partnership with DESIGNxRI.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Barbara Zdravesky with guest guide Jo Lee, a board member at DESIGNxRI.
This is a walking tour - make sure you wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather! In addition to murals and architecture along the way, we will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Bela Monde (with DESIGNxRI) - An apparel and accessories brand founded by Lisa Limer and Johnnie Chace, crafting timeless coats and accessories that focuses on luxurious fabrics, pattern, and color.
AS220 Main Gallery - At AS220’s Main Gallery, appreciate two exhibitions. In Eveline Luppi’s Geometric Color Identity, Luppi reveals the complexities of contemporary life through meditative uses of color and geometry and her complex and explorative paint practices. Main Character Energy by Anthony Gregg presents a collection of works that explore the dichotomy of comfort and chaos. That visual play between tension and calm capture the events of processing surrounding environments.
AS220 Aborn Gallery - Explore the boundary between art, poetry, and the natural world with Realmz by RI artist, Natural. Natural presents a series of works that illustrate his visual and musical languages through a range of materials like spray paint, acrylic, and sculpture.
134 Collaborative / Mathewson Street Church - Ewa Roselli and her daughter Chloe Moers connect their work in a joint exhibition on the beauty of nature. Ewa’s vibrant and intuitive large paintings, as well as her smaller nature-inspired watercolors, will be on display. Paired with each of the watercolors is a poem gently crafted by Chloe.

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.
