As the seasons change, anticipation is in the air at our member galleries, museums and cultural institutions as we approach October Newport Gallery Night on Thursday, October 10th from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm.

These informational tours showcase new exhibits in and around Newport will run hourly as follows:   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.  Self-guided tours will continue into the winter season, but for October Gallery Night, local experts will serve as your guide to the Newport art scene so don’t miss out!
