Gallery Night Providence expands

Art is in the air tonight.

The summer edition of Gallery Night Providence starts tonight, featuring many of the city’s top galleries, museums and historical sites.

There will be traditional and contemporary works by Southwestern artist Caroline R. Carpio at the Gallery at 17 Peck; photographs of modern-day Vietnam at URI’s downtown campus; an exhibit chronicling recent excavations on the Greek island of Crete at Providence College; and a celebration of contemporary Rhode Island art at Gallery Z on Federal Hill.

Two new venues, in the Wayland Square area, debut tonight: Twist on Angell, an Italian restaurant at 500 Angell St., celebrates its in-house art gallery with an exhibit of works by Russian-born painter and collage artist Onega Astaltsova.

And the former Sexual Assault & Trauma Center is marking the opening of its new headquarters at 100 Medway St. with an exhibit of works by members of Wakefield’s Hera Gallery. The center is now called Day One.

There will be free buses among Gallery Night sites. Free parking is available, including at the Metro Park lot behind One Citizens Plaza and the Providence Art Club lot at 186 Benefit St.

For information, call (401) 490-2042 or go to www.gallerynight.info.
