April 17 Gallery Night - 6:30 pm tour details announced!

in

Join us for the second Gallery Night of 2025! 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 Danielle Wolfrum. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:

Bannister Gallery presents “Lani Irwin & Alan Feltus - Selected Works”. Curated by Professor Richard Whitten, this exhibition showcases the figurative works of these two married artists. Feltus’ ambiguous figures contrast with Irwin’s powerful female subjects, creating a unique dialogue between their styles. Both artists' works are in major collections like the Smithsonian and Hirshhorn Museum.

Sprout CoWorking is proud to present the works of artists Daniel Watkins, Traé Brooks, Haydee Naula, Ted DiLucia, Cassandra Colón, and Atira Hope, in this exhibit titled “Finding Joy”. It has been a strained time and in such we seek to find a brief landing place, somewhere we can be free to feel good things for a moment. The works collected represent joy. 

WaterFire Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of Metamorphosis: An ART inc. and Artscape Exhibition, a multimedia exhibition that celebrates transformation and reinvention. It marks the recent merger of Rhode Island PBS and The Public’s Radio by showcasing twelve Rhode Island artists from the programs ART inc. and Artscape. Metamorphosis reflects the evolving landscape of public media by uniting these programs in a shared gallery space.

Visitors enjoying Graphic Voices of Latin America, a powerful collection of Latin American posters at WaterFire Arts Center. Curated by José R. Menéndez and Tatiana Gómez of Buena Gráfica Social Studio, this exhibition presents graphic works from 16 countries across Latin America.

We had so much fun during the first Gallery Night of the season!

Between the 5 free guided tours and people visiting the gallery shows on their own, we had around 380 people participate.

We welcomed a mix of first-time and returning visitors to Gallery Night across all tours, with everyone excited to explore new spaces and learn from our expert guides. It was especially rewarding to see many younger audience members attending this month!

Most of those who attended this month were local to Rhode Island or Massachusetts, but we had one person from Virginia attend! Keep telling your friends and family about Gallery Night.

Enjoy some photos and anecdotes in the recap below.

⤵ ⤵ ⤵

This month’s itineraries incorporated some amazingly interactive elements for visitors to experience.

Providence College Galleries hosted an exhibit titled Sandplay, an ongoing collaboration between artists Mirthe Berentsen and Martín La Roche, on view at Reilly Gallery.

This was the first stop for visitors on the 5:30 pm tour, and they deeply enjoyed the immersive element. They were provided a selection of objects curated by the artists, and presented with a large sandbox as part of the exhibit. The students working in the gallery explained that the intention was to invite viewers to find meaning in an object and create a scene, a work of art, or something intentional with it in the sand.

Ava, our Outreach Coordinator, attended the 5:30 tour with her cousin Zoe and the two found this exhibit particularly soothing.

The Avenue Concept hosted a fantastic event as the final component of our three-part collaboration.

Visitors on three of our five tours had the opportunity to check out the organizations headquarters, where they created an ambient evening of art, music, and socialization in their space.

We got to see their legal graffiti wall, enjoy light refreshments among cool people, and attend artist chats with Tom Scicluna and muralists Amanda Hill and Maia Hay.

Visitors got to contribute to TAC’s wall with their own creations, and work on their hand styles in permanent marker inside their venue, where a tiny diorama of TAC was placed on the table to keep these aspiring artists inspired.

DJ Incorporeal Apparatus was present to help curate the vibes.

“I can’t wait till the next event. It gave me an enhanced appreciation for Providence.”
— Anonymous, 5:15 pm tour
“I love the flexibility of being able to choose a trolley tour or to make one of my own. I also love getting into different parts of Providence.”
— Deborah Parker, 5:30 pm tour

Thanks for attending our Season Kick-Off at Bannister Gallery!

On February 27, more than 30 guests gathered at E.M. Bannister at Rhode Island College for our pre-season kick-off and fundraiser.  Guests enjoyed a gallery visit of RaMell Ross' stunning photographs with curator Victoria Gao, a presentation by Ulli Ryder about her father Mahler Ryder's legacy and connection to E.M. Bannister, an opportunity to hear more about the Gallery Night season, as well as refreshments and conversation. 

Thank you to the RISD Museum, Jerry's Artarama, Whalers Brewing, and Level 99 for donating door prizes. We were pleased to welcome familiar faces as well as folks brand new to Gallery Night.  Funds were raised to support the upcoming Gallery Night season as well as to restore the medallions at E.M. Bannister's gravesite at Providence's North Burial ground.
