Description
Becoming Providence: Mural and Gallery Tour is an immersive exploration of Providence’s creative identity, experienced through vibrant murals and dynamic gallery spaces. You’ll encounter striking murals that offer a window into the city’s evolving identity, revealing the people, stories, and forces that have shaped Providence over time. Along the way, we’ll step inside three standout galleries, where that story continues through contemporary artists whose work is actively shaping what Providence is becoming today. The result is a visually rich, thoughtfully designed experience that reveals the city not as a static snapshot, but as a place in motion, continually redefining itself. A minimum of four guests is required for tours to run. If fewer than four guests are booked, we’ll contact you the morning of the tour with refund or rescheduling options.

Highly Recommend!
We went on the Providence mural and art gallery tour. Our guide Spencer was professional and friendly. He has a genuine passion for the visual arts and architecture. Although we are live long Rhode Island residents and fairly knowledgeable about RI history and culture we certainly picked up additional information. Spencer did this in am entertaining manner.

Enrich your Providence visit and take the Muriel walking tour.
We saw Muriels that our guide was able to explain so much about and their artists. We saw the art work of employees of City Hall. We found it really interesting and nice to go inside City Halls beautiful building.

Take a tour with Sharli
Sharli was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and a pleasure to spend our toms with. Viator could have been more specific about our meeting place. Like a land mark or cross street. Other than that it was a perfect tour. My husband I highly recommend you take a tour with Sharli.

Providence AHA Mural Artwork (AHA art, history & architecture)
Our Becoming Providence experience was such a wonderful and culturally rich tour led by Gail S. She was helpful and strong communication skills from meeting for the tour to informative and engaging story telling about each artwork piece. She loves art, and is shares a lot of knowledge with enthusiasm in her tour. Will be looking to book another tour with her in September to bring more friends!

Architecture that comes alive
Dillon shared his wealth of knowledge with my friends and I during this two hour walking tour of Providence RI. He was artful in Explaining the history and telling little storied tidbits of famous characters connected to the architecture and wall murals within the city. Well worth the cost of the tour.
