Join us for the second Gallery Night of 2025! We will leave at 5:15 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and return to the Graduate around 7:15 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Board Member and Guest Guide Darien Strassfield and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Bannister Gallery presents “Lani Irwin & Alan Feltus - Selected Works”. Curated by Professor Richard Whitten, this exhibition showcases the figurative works of these two married artists. Feltus’ ambiguous figures contrast with Irwin’s powerful female subjects, creating a unique dialogue between their styles. Both artists' works are in major collections like the Smithsonian and Hirshhorn Museum.
RI Center for Photographic Arts is excited to share The Sixth Annual Juried Members’ Exhibition, presenting the work of over 35 members. Visitors will also see a collection titled Take the Next Exit by Matt Temple. Matt’s solo exhibition builds on an ongoing exploration and an expanded look at work first presented in their 10th Annual International Juried Exhibition in 2024.
RISD Museum | Get a taste of the many amazing exhibits housed here, including The Art of French Wallpaper Design, which explores the vibrant designs that adorned walls in the 1700s and 1800s. This is your last chance to view The Road Less Traveled, featuring beautiful Japanese woodblock prints of the Edo period.

Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the trolleys we hire for Gallery Night cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
All tours involve some walking and some stops may include stairs.
We invite wheelchair users to enjoy self-guided tours on Gallery Night, and have created some suggestions (Make Your Own Tour tab page) where we note which galleries are wheelchair accessible.
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.
