Join us for our first Gallery Night Providence of 2026! Tours depart from the Graduate Hotel at various times throughout the evening and return approximately two hours later. Please note which tour you are registering for, as departure times vary. These are walking and bus tours, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather!
6:15PM Bus Tour Includes Stops At:
Art in the Atrium, First U presents Photographic Artistic Expressions – Lisa Bergeron and Vicky McGrath blur the lines between photography and art through multiple exposure, compositing, and creative editing. Their work evokes emotion and invites new ways of seeing architecture, botanicals, and landscapes. On view March 12-April 10, 2026.
David Winton Bell Gallery presents Prisoners of Love: Until the Sun of Freedom by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme. Through interviews with former political prisoners in Palestine, this multimedia exhibition celebrates poetry, music, and art as forms of survivance and resistance. On view February 19-May 31, 2026.
RISD Museum presents A Shared Journey – featuring objects from the Barkan Contemporary Ceramic Collection. Spanning the 1960s through the 2010s, the exhibition explores how ceramics foster connectivity, dialogue, and knowledge-sharing across generations and cultures.
REGISTER IN ADVANCE OR SHOW UP THE NIGHT OF!
A number of seats on the bus may be available (first-come, first-served) to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night. We encourage guests to reserve spots in advance via Givebutter. We ask that you donate when you check out for the convenience of guaranteeing your spot on the tour of your choice ahead of time.
Accessibility Notes:
Many of the Gallery Night art spaces are wheelchair accessible. However, the buses 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.
Helpful Notes for the Night of the Event:
We recommend arriving at the Graduate 15-10 minutes before your tour time. One of our volunteers will be at a podium with a Gallery Night banner near the main entrance to check you in and answer any questions.
If your plans change, please cancel your Givebutter reservation so that someone else can enjoy the tour.
Tours occasionally run late, so we recommend allowing buffer time if you’re planning to attend another event afterward.
