Now in its ninth season, Gallery Night has its second showing of 2005
tonight. The once-a-month free tour of the city's galleries and art
venues is a popular way for locals and tourists alike to discover
new favorite art spots.
Free "art bus" service conveniently shuttles visitors to some 27
galleries and museums, many of which plan special events and openings
for Gallery Night. Not all venues are open for every Gallery Night,
however.
This evening's highlights include two exhibits commemorating the 90th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide: The Chapel Gallery & Labyrinth
at the Mathewson Street United Methodist Church (134 Mathewson St.)
will show mixed-media artwork by John Avakian, and Gallery Z (259
Atwells Ave.) hosts a group show of the works of several artists
working in a wide range of media.
The Johnson & Wales Multicultural Center Gallery (corner of Pine
and Claverick streets) showcases paintings, batiks and tapestries by
Isabel "Bela" Duarte, a Cape Verdean artist. And Gayle Wells Mandle
and Gretchen Dow Simpson will show their work at the Providence Art
Club (11 Thomas St.).
Hours for Gallery Night are 5 to 9 p.m. Free parking is available at
One Citizens Plaza and at nine other parking lots downtown. Free art
buses run from 5 to 9 p.m.
