Join us this month! We will leave at 5:15 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and return to the Graduate around 7:15 pm. The tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Frank Toti and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
David Winton Bell Gallery presents ojo|-|ólǫ́, a solo exhibition by Diné (Navajo) artist Eric-Paul Riege. Riege’s work, a combination of textile, sculpture, sound, video, and performance, is infused with traditional Diné practices and history. Through this multisensory experience, Riege incites difficult, but important conversations about Indigenous art and sovereignty and the role institutions play in collecting and disseminating Indigenous art and culture.
The Avenue Concept presents A Season of Ripples: A Public Art Infusion — a group exhibition showcasing over 50 Rhode Island-based artists, opening on October 16 at the TAC Paintbar Gallery. The Ripples Project included the painting of 50 utility boxes and five large-scale murals throughout Providence between 2024 and 2025. The exhibit showcases all RIPPLES art pieces as part of our project-end celebration.
... A Gallery Night Mystery Stop!! For our season finale we are excited to announce Gallery Night Mystery Stops! Stay tuned because in certain months, mysterious new stops will appear... only to be revealed on our Third Thursday tours!
REGISTER IN ADVANCE OR SHOW UP THE NIGHT OF!
A number of seats on the trolley or mini coach will always be available (first-come, first-served), to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night! The other seats are available to reserve 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 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 Givebutter 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.
