We will leave at 6:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 8:00 pm. September tours include exclusive spaces showcased in partnership with DESIGNxRI.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Rosemary Rocchio and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Studio Hop is a local studio & shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, & clothing.
Art in the Atrium First U - Art in the Atrium presents its annual exhibit for the September Month of Peace, Women Artists of Peace: Christiane Corbet and Mimi Sammis. This exhibit explores sculpture by both RI artists who were devoted to peace.
Chazan Gallery at Wheeler - The Chazan Gallery at Wheeler is pleased to present Una Selva Oscura: Illustrating Dante’s Inferno, a solo show by Robert Brinkerhoff. His 35 drawings mirror the chronology of Dante’s narrative to study his own artistic processes and the pleasurable toil of an artistic practice.
The Bell - Franklin Williams: It’s About Love, evokes love, death, humor, and other emotions through his use of motifs and shapes in works of diverse mediums. This survey exhibition spans the decades of his studio-based practice and conveys the intensity of emotion for different periods and people in his life.

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.
