Join us this month! We will leave at 5:15 pm from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street, and return to the Graduate around 7:15 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Shannon Hadfield and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
AS220 Project Space presents The Wild and Whimsy World of Heather Taylor.
The Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice presents The Unfinished Conversation Series, a collaborative, global, oral history project that examines how systems of racial slavery and European colonialism have shaped the modern world. The project, now archived in Brown University’s John Jay Library, is a “living repository” of over 150 interviews exploring collective experiences, histories, and memories of colonial oppression.
Providence Art Club presents three new exhibitions in its galleries. In Dodge House Gallery: Umberto Crenca: Paint the Town, a solo show featuring urban paintings by local Providence artist and cultural organizer, Umberto Crenca. In the Maxwell Mays Gallery is the Rhode Island Faculty Invitational, showcasing the work of studio art faculty living and working in the Ocean State. Lastly, the Mary Castelnovo Gallery presents, Members’ Miniatures, an exhibition of small artworks of a variety of media, created by Providence Art Club Members.

The other half of the seats are available to reserve in advance via Eventbrite.

Accessibility notes:
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 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.
