Join us for June Gallery Night! We will leave at 6:30 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center, and finish our tour at that same location around 8:30 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Emily Gray. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
The Clubhouse Gallery, an artist-run space honoring the history of Eagle Square and Fort Thunder that is proud to be part of the growing Valley Arts District of Providence. View their current show titled “The Gathering”, featuring 19 exhibiting artists. The gallery is envisioned to be a space to create and come together for unexpected and inspiring experiences thanks to Gather Wealth. Showcasing the work of Umberto Crenca, Erminio Pinque, David Lee Black, Paul Pedulla, Carol Scavotto, Derek Bernstein, David A. Lang, Ricky Katowitz, Rebecca Skinner, Natalie Hogan, Benjamin Giguere, Laura White, Marie Craig, Jayson Salvi, Chelsea Bradway, Chris Kerrigan, Gina Adamson, Michael Luzzi, and Allie Boyer.
Sprout CoWorking Gallery is proud to present “Threads That Bind Us”, a Fiber Arts Show. Fiber Arts is gaining new recognition in the art world, blurring the line between art and craft. “Threads That Bind Us” invites viewers to explore this evolving medium through the work of Rhode Island Threads — a diverse group of artists from RI and SE MA. Showcasing the works of Liz Bessel, Sabina Gellrich, Sue Bates, Alice Cooper, Phoebe Girard, Leslie Hartwell, Al Bates Lombard, Julie Maxwell, Veronica Mays, Karen McCann, Sandra Mitra, Suzanne Munroe, Suzanne Noonan, Lisa Sorensen, Nancy Turbitt, Laure Warren, and Allison Wilbur.
The Avenue Concept invites you to kick off Pride Month at their Paintbar Gallery with SCUM FANTASIA, a powerful solo exhibition by local artist Apollo Rios Lomba. Providence-born and a graduate of Pratt Institute, Apollo is a Black Latino trans-masc visual storyteller whose work celebrates people of color through epic fantasy, vibrant movement, and unapologetically bright color.

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!
