Gallery Night Guide
Join Bob on April 18th as he returns as one of the guides for the Gallery night Providence 6:20 Contemporary Tour visiting: AIAri, Chabot Gallery, Gallery Z, Royal Gallery, URI.
HOW TO DO GALLERY NIGHT PROVIDENCE
Gallery Night Providence is a free, fun-filled introduction to Providence’s exciting art scene! On the third Thursday of the month, from March through November, over two dozen of the city’s hot “art spots” open their doors – inviting you to a visual arts party.
RIDE THE ART BUS
Theme-dedicated bus tours leave at 5:20, 5:40, 6:00, 6:20 (this is Bob’s tour), 6:40, and 7:00 pm. Tours stop at approximately 4 galleries each and run about 2 hours. Parking is free at our central location at One Regency Plaza located at the end of Greene (2nd parking lot on the left) in back of the Providence Public Library. You can also pick up the bus from any one of your favorite galleries. Be sure to catch the last bus to return you to your car.
Gallery Night Guides are stationed at Regency Place and ride the Art Busses. They offer information about different art exhibitions and point out the city’s historic and architectural treasures.
Celebrity Guided Tours offer a chance to mix and mingle with people who care deeply about art. Celebrity Guides run the gamut from the curators and academics who shape opinions about art to the artists whose lives’ work is giving form to their passion. Take a tour and follow in the footsteps of someone who thinks a lot about art and enhance your personal point of view. As always, we end the season in November with our one-of-a-kind art shopping tour.

“The square show offered me an opportunity to really question traditional approaches to painting and to experiment with new ones. I see the three works on canvas as studies for larger pieces, and therefore representing the beginning of a new and uniquely engaging series. In some ways this marks a departure from old approaches but in many ways they are a testament to the exploration and experimentation that defined earlier works. I am very happy to have been invited to participate in this show and I invite you to take a look at the three works I’ve created especially for the square show.” |

| This is what Gallery Z has to say about the Show “”The Square Show”, a popular new type of gallery exhibition style from across the pond is about to pop up at Gallery Z!
This upcoming trend in Europe has spiked our interest, and we cannot wait to see how our artists and gallery goers react to this style of showing art. As always, we have a very diverse collection of artists, but this time they all have the same guidelines. Each artist that has chosen to participate in this show has been given three canvases. One is 12x12in, one is 16x16in, and one is 20x20in. Each of the artists’ three canvases reflects their styles and chosen mediums. One of the most exciting details of this show is that the price points are very fair; $250(small), $450(medium), and $650(large). “
