April Newport Gallery Night

Posted

Enjoy the Spring weather by walking around town to see the latest exhibitions as the ever popular FREE guided walking art tours return for April Newport Gallery Night (weather permitting) on Thursday, April 12th, 2018 from 4:00 - 8:00 pm featuring participating member galleries, museums and cultural institutions including five new galleries. There will be four separate walking tours meeting at 4:00 pm at Thames Glass, 5:00 pm at Spring Bull Gallery, 6:00 pm at Art on Spring and 7:00 pm at Arnold Art Gallery.

Andrea S. Keogh Art and Design, a new gallery at 59 Bellevue Avenue, is featuring the exhibit “Seeing Red” from April 1st until June 1st. Each of the works are from different periods, however, the unifying theme of the collection is the color red, including fiery red pieces like Donald Sultan’s two prints, Red and Black and Black and Red. The way he uses the plane and experiments with lithography creates a work of art that is simultaneously representational and abstract.

Newport Art Museum will be hosting “Art After Dark” on gallery night. The gallery talk consists of domestic affairs: “Domesticity, Identity, and the Home” with Francine Weiss, Senior Curator. It will also include an education event, featuring presentations from six teaching artists.

Roger King Fine Arts on Spring Street offers a diverse array of paintings by 19th and 20th century artists including African-American art, cityscapes, figurative and genre, landscape, marine and coastal scenes, still life, and modernist art. Beautiful new additions of summer scenes include Charles Woodbury’s Ocean View near Perkins Cove, Oqunquit Maine from 1911 and Mabel May Woodward’s Young Boy String Fishing.

Newport Contemporary Fine Arts, located at Goddard Row, Brick Marketplace, will be hosting an opening for their spring exhibition on April Newport Gallery Night at 7:00pm. Featured artists will be Jessica Dean Rosner - Ink on Paper, Meredith Morten - Ceramics, and Peter Cohen - Sculptures.

If you’re hungry after all these exhibitions, step into one of the 6 restaurants that collaborate with Newport Gallery Organization by providing discounts and specials for Newport Gallery Night visitors! Free parking will be available for the night at the Gateway Visitors Center and uptown at the Newport Art Museum.
