Experience 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,
twenty-one of the city’s hot “art spots” open
their doors inviting you to a visual arts party.
New This Year This season Gallery
Night offers a wheelchair accessible bus tour on each Gallery Night
from June through September. The tour will run
from 5:30 -7:30. Space is limited and reservations are required.
For more information please call 401 490-2042.
New Information
Center For 2009, Gallery Night Providence offers
a new location for our central Art Bus depot and information booth.
As of March 19, we are located at Regency Plaza in downtown Providence
best described, in true Rhode Island fashion, as directly behind
where the old Providence Police Station used to be. Kitty corner
from the rear of the Providence Public Library on Greene Street,
a hop skip and a jump from the Dunkin Donuts Center, Regency Plaza
offers us our first time ever indoor information booth for those
rare less-than-perfect evenings in Providence.
Park Free
at any one of the seven parking lots situated conveniently throughout
the city and walk to your favorite gallery. Stroll from gallery
to gallery, enjoying the Providence skyline and the historic city
streets. Use the brochure maps to discover the galleries, museums,
art spots, and parking lots just a short walk from one another.
Ride the Art Bus through Providence.
Park your car at our new central location at Regency Plaza located
on the corner of Greene and Fountain Streets, conveniently located
near both the Dunkin Donuts center and the Providence Public Library.
Board the Art Bus, or pick up the bus from any one of your favorite
galleries. Art Busses circulate the city from 5 to 9 p.m. The final
run for each Art Bus is at 8:40 p.m. 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 Providence celebrities take time to share
their thoughts about artworks on display. Walking tours start from
Regency Plaza at 6pm and 6:30 pm and last about an hour. As always,
we end the season in November with our one-of-a-kind art shopping
tour. Call us at 401 490-2042 for up-to-date information. more
