Join us this month! We will leave at 5:30 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and finish our tour at that same location around 7:30 pm. This is a walking tour, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather! The tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Barbara Zdravesky and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
The Gallery at City Hall presents The Artists Loop “FabriCollage” Exhibition, curated by Providence artist and independent curator Pnina Pressburger. The exhibition is inspired by Pressburger’s “Threading for Survival”, a series of artistic interpretations of the historical transition from making nets, a survival skill/tool, to creating lace, a skill that provides economic survival.
Chapel Gallery at 134 Collaborative presents the paintings of Madeline Menkes, a working artist residing in Providence. “My practice centers around ecology, community, memory, and the home…I am intrigued by the land we all inhabit, and how we inhabit it. Many of my recent paintings include numerous native plants and animals from the Rhode Island area, regardless of subject.”
AS220 Main Gallery presents Woolgathering, bit by bit | Jennifer Ziller.
AS220 Aborn Gallery presents American Dystrophy | Charlie Ledbetter.
AS220 Project Space presents Sticking your hand out the window to see if it’s raining | Sylvia Atwood, and in the adjoined Reading Room, Floodplains | Milo Harris.

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.
