Rebuilding a City Around the Arts: The History of Gallery Night Providence

Virtual program via Zoom

Before there was Gallery Night, before there was WaterFire or AS220, Providence was a city full of artists who lacked basic avenues of sharing their work. There were however several people who understood that Providence had something special to offer and they began to work, both together and separately, to sculpt the city and all its offerings into an expansive cultural package.

One of these initiatives, Gallery Night, collaborated with galleries around the City to form a network of support and marketing. This combined effort created free educational experiences for people around Rhode Island and the world to be introduced to Providence’s vibrant art scene.

On the occasion of Gallery Night’s 25th anniversary, join the founders of Gallery Night, Cathy Bert (Bert Gallery), Teresa Level (Gallery Flux) and Paula Martiesian (Centercity Contemporary Arts) as they reflect on the inspirations, development, and evolution of Gallery Night. The conversation will be moderated by nationally acclaimed award-winning storyteller and author Len Cabral.
