Spring is just around the corner and what a better way to welcome it by getting outside and gallery hopping? Enjoy a night off by exploring all the beautiful art Newport has to offer and join the Newport Gallery Organization for their 14th annual Newport Gallery Night Season on Thursday, April 10, 2014 from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Newport Gallery Night offers the perfect excuse to get out of the house and support the arts. 
Highlights of April Newport Gallery Night include a showing at Sheldon Fine Art of distinguished artist Rowenna Anderson. Rowenna’s oils combine sensitivity and serene compositions with simply-stated themes. Her paintings often depict the splendor of coastal life along Nantucket, Cape Cod, and New England with playful colors as flowers sprawl alongside the sea. A diverse group of twelve artists and close friends are featured at Spring Bull Gallery’s “Art by the Dozen.” Each has a unique style, love of art, and incredible range of creativity. The artists’ work in various mediums including: oil, acrylic, watercolor pottery and cut glass. C. L. Sherman’s Gallery has new hats in for Easter from Ann McMahon, and new oils by Anne Cordin. Also, if you did not have a chance last month the Redwood Library and Athenaeum is still showing their “Portraits of Interiors” exhibition, so be sure to stop in and check it out.
End the evening at one of the 16 participating restaurants and use the special Newport Gallery Night restaurant discount coupon. Free parking is available at the Gateway Visitors Center and uptown at the Newport Art Museum.  For more information about Newport Gallery Night and the Newport Gallery Organization, visit www.newportgalleries.org.
