about LAUNCH
www.launchgallery.com
Launch at Gail Cahalan Gallery, situated at Conley's
Wharf/Providence Piers, is a program designed by Andrea Valentini,
to bridge RISD students and recent graduates with the local community
as an initial public viewing.
Named specifically for its port side location, Launch features the
work of RISD students from all disciplines of fine art and design
and is intended to transition pre graduating and post graduate student
work from campus to community. A percentage of sales from the gallery
will be donated toward a RISD scholarship fund for Rhode Island
high school students.
about GAIL CAHALAN

Gail and her husband Dr. Patrick Conley, have generously donated
the gallery space to Launch at GCG, helping to insure its long term
success as the commercial real estate market in Providence continues
to be more
and more cost prohibitive for artistic venues.
