This past Gallery Night was a blast!
Between the 7 free guided tours and people visiting the gallery shows on their own, we had around 125 people participate.
We had many first-time and returning Gallery Night visitors on all tours — with all delighted to discover new spaces and learn from our knowledgeable guides. We helped one family from Pennsylvania find a parking spot for their RV in Providence so they could participate in the 6 pm tour!
We also welcomed people from North Carolina, Florida, and of course, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Enjoy some photos and tidbits in the recap below.
“Gallery Night Providence and The Avenue Concept : Experience the Best of Both!” was exciting and interactive for tour-goers…
Along with the beautiful visuals, everyone got to enjoy warm cocoa while learning about the artists’ processes. Members of The Avenue Concept team shared anecdotes about the work and the organization’s initiatives.
Murals She Never Came by BEZT, Salt Water by Garden of Journey, and Still Here by Gaia looked incredible illuminated.
Thank you to Cafe Modesto for providing snacks and refreshments!
There were a few guest appearances this month, including Guest Guide and local artist Bob Dilworth, whose company was fondly enjoyed on the 5:30 pm tour! We also got to hang out with Guest Guide Mike Ryan of Motif Magazine on the 6:30 pm tour!!
Anahid Ypres hosted guest artist Fior De La Cruz, who was present to interact with visitors during the event. A bin of her small works were on sale in the studio and a couple of you went home with them! Although Anahid was in Brooklyn on Gallery Night, many thanks to her husband for kindly holding down the studio for visitors :)
And one more quote! Thanks again for joining us in October. We hope to see you for the last Gallery Night of the season in November!
