We will leave at 6:30 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center at 475 Valley Street, and return to the WaterFire Arts Center around 8:30 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Danielle Wolfrum. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College is showing “Range of Motion, Landscapes by Charles Goolsby.” Charles Goolsby’s oil paintings of landscapes reside between complete stillness and sweeping gestural chaos, specific place and fiction, rendered realism and ambiguous abstraction, and physical object and illusionary pictorial space. His landscape imagery builds on 19th century American landscape painting traditions and implies a sense of contemporary issues.
The Gallery at Sprout CoWorking has an exciting show planned for March for spring and women's history month! Artists Charlotte Collins, Janice Bowker, and Amie Noakes are three artists that the colors and forms in their work could remind one of a love of shape, flow, life, and things that grow. And through the colors, forms, shapes, and lines, we can feel a relief that we have made it through another dormant sleep of Mother Nature and we can sprout into spring!
BIG NAZO LAB’s “Space Transformation Station” Mill-Rocket Studio, where you *may* meet some theatrical aliens. This is an interactive experience that's fun for all ages, so come prepared to engage and have fun!
WaterFire Arts Center is proud to announce the opening of a retrospective exhibition showcasing the illustrious career of Gretchen Dow Simpson, a distinguished painter, photographer, and artist. Spanning decades of creative exploration, Gretchen Dow Simpson's oeuvre reflects a deep-seated fascination with the interplay of shapes, light, and color.
