About this Event
Spend the last Gallery Night of the season with us! We will leave at 5:45 pm from the WaterFire Arts Center, and finish our tour at that same location around 7:45 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Emily Gray and will visit the following locations and exhibits:
- Get an inside look at the artist’s studio and appreciate seeing both in progress & finished paintings! Her work touches on subjects ranging from landscapes & the figure, to abstract still lifes.
- hosts their 6th Annual Open Community Member Exhibition: Be a Friend & Bring a Friend. Artwork is available to be purchased by visitors directly off the wall. Join us on Gallery Night for the opening reception of this community building event featuring the work of RICPA members.
- presents Mo Kelman’s solo show, Water Ways. She creates sculptures using malleable materials that merge abstract images of water with industrial architecture. “The natural world is forever transforming and adaptable. My artwork contemplates and celebratesnature’s relentless power, and compares it with a built world that inevitably gives way,” the artist states. The opening reception will be held on Gallery Night!
- invites visitors to BuyArt, a small works holiday show featuring 30+ artists. The show encourages visitors to support local artists by giving the gift of art for the holidays and purchasing small works right 'off the wall'. New works will be added as works sell.
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 on the 2nd floor and Anahid Ypres Art Studio is on the 3rd floor of a building without an 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 WaterFire Arts Center 5 to 10 minutes before your tour time. One of our volunteers will be inside with a Gallery Night banner, near the main entrance, and will check you in and answer any questions!
- We do have a limited number of seats on the tour! If your plans change, please remember to cancel your Eventbrite reservation so that someone else can enjoy the tour.
- Tours occasionally run late depending on traffic. We recommend allowing buffer time if you're planning on attending another event after ours.
We have other guided tours the same night! Go to our Eventbrite Organizer Page and scroll down, the other tours will be listed under "Upcoming Events."
