I walked in shortly before closing to view their exhibit, "Land, Sea, and Sky" and I was quite pleased that I had chosen to do so. The curators are engaging, knowledgeable and easy to speak to. I found them quite amicable and easy to work with both before and after I decided to purchase a piece. I had a lot of questions about 1 piece in particular and ultimately I ended up contacting the artist to learn more about the provenance of the piece I was interested in. I ended up acquiring 1 piece from the gallery and I liked it so much that I have since purchased an additional 2 pieces from that series. I now own the full collection of Nina Weiss's "Waterways" series that were painted as part of Philadelphia's "Art in the Open" invitation only, judged event. Nina's pieces have been displayed all over the world and are held in many high value collections. You need to see one in person to view the depth, texture, and technique - I think they are fantastic! Nina got her undergrad from Tyler School of Art and Design, and a higher degree from RISD, hence the Philadelphia / Rhode Island connection. All 3 paintings from that series are now displayed in a prominent place in my home, where they bring me nostalgic joy as I reminisce on familiar scenes from my time spent traipsing about Philadelphia each and every day! Thanks to Nina and ArtProv for the great work you do. Art is what separates humans from Animals.

    I've definitely seen some cool things at AS220, & I'm super glad & grateful for the programming…read morethey put out there. They make use of all of their space, coordinating music, burlesque, theater, art shows, etc, to be highlighted in the spot that makes the most sense for the medium. Does that make sense? No corner goes unused, you know? Once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, & thrice is a pattern, right? Well then, unfortunately, the pattern here is that the bar staff is astronomically rude ): Like, noticeably mean. I wouldn't consider coming here for food or bev if there wasn't a very specific reason/show going on that I wanted to attend. That aside, I still have wonderful things to say about AS220 as an entity. Just a heads up for showgoers.

    One Providence Place…read more Advertised as follows: The year is 2003. Providence Place is in its youth, only four years old and shining with promise. Deep in the bowels of this commercial complex, a group of friends carve out a secret 750 sq. ft. home for themselves, away from the prying eyes of mall security and the daylight reminder of things they would rather not think about. But what comes of letting our hurt take up too much room inside of us? Does every empty space always need to be filled? Or sometimes, is it all right to let what is hollow stay hollow? Loosely inspired by a true story, One Providence Place is an original 90-minute musical dramedy about art, grief, family, and the most carpeted mall in America. The space- Black Box: The Black Box is a nice little space nestled all the way to the right of AS220. Enough to fit about 30-40 audience members. Every seat is a good seat and it has it's own bathrooms. The play: It was more drama than comedy. I was not expecting that. After re-reading the description, they advertised it as dealing with grief and it was more a play about exactly that. I wanted it to be more comical and closer to the actual story. It wasn't my cup of tea but Kudos where judos is deserved. Someone had a vision and they went after it! Everyone knew their lines, their was some excitement, there were songs, they used their space well. Overall a dedicated group of artists did their craft and kudos to them. I always appreciate bathroom art.

    Yellow Peril is a small modern art gallery located in The Plant, an artist collective / residential…read morecommunity in Valley. At only two rooms, the space is pretty intimate with a cool industrial vibe. I like that you can just pop in and look around; so many of the galleries in Providence are by appointment only, which always strikes me as pretentious. The owner definitely made me feel welcome. The fact that there was a dog around didn't hurt either... Beware that the hours on Google are NOT correct! If you're planning a visit, it might be best to just call ahead and check the most updated schedule. I'm not sure if I would visit Valley specifically to come here, since it's pretty small, but if you're in the area I would definitely recommend stopping in and getting a taste of this artistic community.

The gallery is an intimate and beautifully appointed live/work loft in the Plant run by Robert and his partner who are recent transplants from NYC. I had the opportunity to sit in the living room, sip champagne, and really talk with both the artist and gallery owner. Keep an eye on Yellow Peril Gallery listings and make a stop before or after dinner for a night out with a splash of art.

Beautiful glass pieces adorning the glass windows in beautiful shades, catching the light sometimes... just calling me in for a visit! I just love glass... We were getting dinner at Fellini's and drive by again. I had some time to kill so we went inside. I was not disappointed. A store filled, almost every crevice, with glass pieces. Mushrooms, mermaids, flowers, little animals, tiki glasses, etc... So much to look at. Sitting on shelves, hanging from the ceiling... The employee became very personable when I engaged her about my love of glass. She told the two 11 year olds I was with about a box in the back of the store they could each pick out a piece of free sea glass. They loved that! she gave me the owners business card alerting me that you can go to his studio and watch him make glass pretty much during daytime hours and not far from the gallery. Pretty cool! The prices- range from super affordable to pricey but it's glass and general handmade craftsmanship. Expected. I did buy a beautiful blue flower to replace one that had broken from an unstable shelf incident a few years ago for $20. I bought a small ceramic bowl that was from a local artist. Inside the bowl had an image of the RI State house inside (a gift.) Also each pre-teen got to pick a little glass figure that were $4 a piece. They loved this!
