6:00 pm Trolley or Mini Coach Art Tour! with Gallery Night Providence

We will leave at 6:00 pm from the Graduate, and finish our tour at that same location around 8:00 pm. This tour will be led by Gallery Night Guide Irene Yibirin. We will visit the following locations and exhibits:

Galerie le Domaine presents the work of Anita Carroll-Weldon whose watercolor paintings are inspired by her wonderment of the massive life force that lies buried beneath human development, beneath the surface of the land, and beneath the sea. Her approach to watercolor is unconventional, painting directly from the tube to create rich, jewel-like colors.

presents History’s Stories, Today’s Storytellers is an exhibit showcasing student artwork inspired by Rhode Island’s history. Students from North Smithfield High School and Mt. Hope High School partnered with the State Archives to create unique pieces inspired by the historic documents preserved there. Through painting, mixed media, pottery, and more, these young artists bring Rhode Island’s past to life through their own creative lens.

brings to you Omnipresent by Kristine Straus & Megan Hall. Straus explores the relationships between perspective, color and form within landscape and cityscape.  These illustrated locations are imaginary, but are loosely based on local areas explored through aerial maps born from her obsession with ‘home’. Through a thorough process of observing, drafting, illustrating, carving, and assembling, Megan Hall has developed a body of work that pays homage to the places that have molded her adult life.

presents Game Theory v. Ballet by Steve Roth, an American painter working with acrylic and mixed media, incorporating game theory, language, and magical realism to navigate the delicate balance between agency and fate, narrating life shaped by an incurable progressive physical disability.

presents Unhinged by the O’Neil Family. In this exhibition, Stephen O’Neil III, Stephen O’Neil IV, and Jessica O’Neil come together as father, son, and sister, bound not only by blood but by an insatiable drive to create. Their work is a conversation—sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant—woven from years of influence, individual growth, and a shared determination to push boundaries.

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 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.

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."
