Join us this month! 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 Irene Yibirin. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
Sprout CoWorking presents Mathematic/Organic: The Works of Cory Clinton. Clinton’s work embodies juxtaposing forces and utilizes materials in an unconventional way all in an effort to challenge our perceptions.
E.M. Bannister Gallery showcases its Annual Faculty Exhibition, featuring a collection of work created by Rhode Island College 2-D studio art faculty.
WaterFire Arts Center presents Family Business, a group exhibition featuring artists from the 2024-2025 WaterFire Accelerate program cohort: Elizabeth Alice-Isam Jweinat (Lizzy Sour), Dorian Epps, Caterina Maina, Sissy Rosso, and Ariel Tavares. This immersive, multimedia installation explores how “memory, lineage, and lived experience shape our sense of home and self” through rooms curated by each artist.
REGISTER IN ADVANCE OR SHOW UP THE NIGHT OF!
Half of the seats on the trolley or mini coach will always be available (first-come, first-served), completely free, to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night! The other half of the seats are available to reserve in advance via Eventbrite. We ask that you donate $1 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 WFAC 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.
