Opening Reception of Merge, a One Gun Gone Exhibition
Event Details
Merge, the largest to date One Gun Gone exhibition, combines art and activism through the creation and sales of art made from disarmed guns. This month-long exhibition is on view in the WaterFire Arts Center gallery opening on Thursday, May 4 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
In addition to pre-pandemic visual artwork, the exhibition includes the unveiling of welded metal sculptures. ArtLab@WaterFire fellows were involved in creating these sculptures as part of a new collaboration between Princes 2 Kings, a Providence Boys and Girls Club teen program, and the Steel Yard.
The opening reception is free and open to all.
Two additional exhibition-related events are: Gallery Night Providence on Thursday, May 18 and an artist panel and community discussion on Thursday, May 25 starting at 6:00 p.m.
