Gallery Collection: Fall 2012 October 11, 2012

This exhibit is a selection of various area artists. Bert Gallery continues to concentrate on its mission of documenting and showcasing late 19th century Rhode Island artists who began to congregate in Providence with the founding of the Rhode Island Art Association in 1855, the Rhode Island School of Design in 1878 and the Providence Art Club in 1880. Many of these important 19th century artists were accomplished and successful artists in their own time only to be obscured under the travails of history.
