Gallery Night’s 2018 season

Gallery Night continues on the third Thursday night of each month through November! Now in its 22nd season, this is a fun, FREE way to explore Providence’s creative scene. Walk, bike, or drive on your own, visiting as many of the 16+ participating galleries, museums, art spaces, and historic sites as you wish! You can also take a FREE guided tour starting at the info center in the first floor lounge at One Regency Plaza beginning at 5:30 and leaving every 20 minutes until 7 PM.

Within downtown, Bank RI Gallery, Copacetic Rudely Elegant Jewelry, the RISD Museum, and URI Feinstein Providence Campus Gallery are participating, and AS220 Main Gallery, AS220 Project Space, Big Nazo Lab, and Providence City Hall Galleries are involved as associate galleries. You’ll find other spaces nearby, within walking distance, including ArtProv in the Jewelry District and the Atrium Gallery near the State House. Follow the map to plan your route!

On March 15th, the 7 PM tour led by Cathren Housley features downtown spots Copacetic, Bank RI Gallery, Big Nazo Lab, and the RISD Museum. Look out for crazy Big Nazo Lab characters roaming the downtown streets throughout the evening!
