NEW INFORMATION CENTER :
For 2009, Gallery Night Providence offers a new location for our central Art Bus depot and information booth : One 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, One Regency Plaza offers us our first-time-ever indoor information booth for those rare less-than-perfect evenings in Providence.

GALLERY NIGHT GUIDES are stationed at Regency Plaza and ride the Art Buses. They offer information about different art exhibitions and point out the city's historic and architectural treasures.EXPERIENCE GALLERY NIGHT PROVIDENCE: Join us for a fun-filled cultural extravaganza. Twenty-one [21] galleries, museums and historic sites; eight convenient parking lots; live music; refreshments; art buses; celebrity guides and it's all FREE!

WHERE: Meet at any one of the galleries and jump on the art bus, or park behind One Regency Plaza off of Greene Street near the Providence Public Library and directly behind (in true Rhode Island fashion) where the Providence Police Station used to be. The art buses pick up and depart every 25 minutes or so.
