About this Event
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 special guest guide Rex M. Blumenthal. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:
- BIG NAZO LAB’s “Space Transformation Station” Mill-Rocket Studio, where you may meet some theatrical aliens! An international performance group of visual artists, puppet performers, & masked musicians unite in an interactive experience that’s fun for all ages.
- The Gallery at Sprout CoWorking presents Growth!, a showcase of young Providence artists & their interpretation of growth & change within themselves & their community.
- WaterFire Arts Center. WaterFire Arts Center welcomes the work of over 100 artists in its new exhibit, NetWorks Rhode Island and the Chazan Collection: A Half-Century of RI Artistic Patronage. Celebrating the artistic community of RI & their champion, Dr. Joseph A. Chazan, this exhibit brings together a previous portrait project by Dr Chazan, works from his collection, & new submissions by RI Artists. Also enjoy sips, snacks, and live music as part of the weekly Thursday Night TroopTop celebration!
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.
- 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."
