South Providence Gallery Tour

July 12 & August 16, 2-4 PM
Begins at the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center
As part of Museo del Barrio, Rhode Island Latino Arts (RILA) is partnering with the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center and the Roger Williams Park Museum of Natural History and Planetarium for the first-ever South Providence Museum & Gallery Tour.

On three Sunday afternoons—June 14, July 12, and August 16 from 2:00-4:00pm—we invite you to spend a few hours exploring art, history, and community right here in South Providence.

The tour begins at the Gateway Center, where visitors can view nine portraits as part of the Somos Rhode Island collection created by Rene Gómez. These portraits are of Rhode Islanders whose stories helped shape our community and inspired the oral histories that later became La Broa’, this summer’s Teatro en El Verano production.
