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 Bradly VanDerStad and will be via trolley or mini coach. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
David Winton Bell Gallery. The Bell Gallery at Brown University presents a comprehensive survey exhibition of artist Barbara T. Smith. An innovator within the performance art movement of the late 1960s, Smith has long produced work that explores the self, sexuality, gender roles, physical and spiritual sustenance, love, life, and death. Assembling an expansive range of artwork and performance-related ephemera, the exhibition will survey Smith’s bold experimentation.
RI Center for Photographic Arts. “George DeWolfe & Friends Lasting Landscapes - Lasting Influences” is the second in a series of exhibitions providing an updated look at landscape photography in the 21st century. This show gathers a collection of photographers that were influenced by DeWolfe and his contemplative approach to making photographs of the landscape.
WaterFire Arts Center. The month-long exhibition “ART is Everywhere: Art Inc., A Rhode Island PBS Exhibition” brings the essence of Rhode Island PBS’ short-video series ART inc. from the screen to the gallery. Some of the series' episodes will be played in the gallery as part of the exhibition as well as artwork and objects from about 7-10 artists/creatives featured in the film series. Delving into the heart of human expression, the series illuminates the transformative power of art—from its ability to soothe and inspire to its role as a catalyst for societal change.
