About this Event
We will leave at 5:00 pm from the Graduate Hotel, and return to the Graduate around 7:00 pm.
This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Irene Yibirin (fluent in English, Spanish, & French). We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
- RI Center for Photographic Arts. cu.rat.or: (noun) an artist, partially hidden, is an exhibit of several local curators from the area’s leading exhibition spaces. As they come together to show their own photography, this show explores the work of those who primarily promote the work of others.
- The Map Center at the Mills is a shared studio space that features globes, atlases, road maps, nautical charts & more, festooned with geographic depictions from around the world. The evening will feature antique original maps of New England, reproductions of historical maps from the Ottoman Empire & several very special pieces in the collection from the US Air Force.
- James Polisky Silkscreen Art James Polisky creates limited edition & one of a kind hand-printed silkscreens of primarily character driven subjects, blending his original drawings & designs with color separation backgrounds. This is a vist to the artist's studio!
- Studio Hop is a local studio & shop specializing in contemporary fine art, hand crafts, jewelry, ceramics, & clothing. This month, check out new still life paintings by artist John Rufo!
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.
Reserving Multiple Tickets? Eventbrite requires you to make a separate reservation for each ticket. Each time you put in an order, it's only for one ticket (even if you choose to donate more than $1). For example, tickets for 3 people would be 3 separate orders, each with a $1 donation.
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. RI Center for Photographic Arts is located on the 2nd floor of a building with no elevator.
- We invite wheelchair users to enjoy self-guided tours on Gallery Night, and have created some suggestions (make your own tour tab on our website) 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 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.
