Gallery Night Guide Irene Yibirin leads the 6:30 pm trolley tour!
Thank you to everyone who attended or participated in June 20 Gallery Night!
It was a fun night, with 5 guided tours traveling to all different neighborhoods in Providence. Outside of the guided tours, galleries had many people who stopped by on their own to enjoy the art and meet new artists.
People came from all over Rhode Island. We had some out-of-state visitors as well, from Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Georgia. We even had one visitor from Korea!
Enjoy some photos and tidbits below from just a few of the different spaces that participated in Gallery Night that evening!
The three photos above are from the 6:30 pm tour. This tour stopped at La Galería del Barrio, a newer gallery in Providence. Located inside the Southside Cultural Center (SCCRI) on Broad Street, this is Providence’s first urban art gallery dedicated sorely to the art of Latinx, Afro-Latino and Indigenous-Latinx art. Pictured in the middle photo is Rene Gomez, whose work was on display that evening - check out our interview with him right here!
The two photos above are from Galerie le Domaine at Domain Properties, which is both a real estate office and and an art gallery! In the second photo, artist Jamie Murphy Hlynsky is pictured discussing her work that’s on display to the folks from the Gallery Night trolley tour. Below, photos from The Gallery at City Hall, part of the 5:45 pm walking tour. Participants enjoy artwork from Olive the Giant (Quinn Bryan) and Jaclyn Tomasso. This show is on view through August 11 - learn more here.
Below, photos from the Gallery at Sprout CoWorking. Curated by Kelly Brown, this was a group show of work by Sam Sparling, Vesna Longton, and Ruth Hauzinger.
And photos below from the WaterFire Arts Center. Folks enjoyed the exhibit When I Get Home, a moving month-long group exhibition by the 2023-2024 WaterFire Accelerate Cohort. Folks from the Gallery Night tours as well as anyone who stopped by on their own also got to enjoy live music, sips and snacks, and bubbles on the roof as part of TroopTop Thursdays.
And a few more photos from the night!
