Velvet Mill Arts Night

Velvet Mill Arts Night brings together visual art, food, and live performance for a multi-sensory evening at Velvet Mill Studios. Designed as a one-night celebration of regional creativity, the event blends gallery-style art with live experiences, creating a setting where guests can move between installations, performances, and tastings throughout the space. It’s positioned as a curated arts night that leans into atmosphere as much as individual exhibits.

A centerpiece of the evening is live body painting, where regional artists create detailed, large-scale work in real time, turning the process itself into part of the show. Alongside the visual art, guests can sample culinary offerings from local restaurants and enjoy beer and wine tastings, adding a strong food and drink component to the experience. Live music by SUGAR runs throughout the night, tying the different elements together with a steady, high-energy soundtrack.

This 21+ event is structured as a social, immersive experience, combining art, music, and tasting in one setting. With support from sponsors including Valenti Subaru and Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island, the event highlights local partnerships while keeping the focus on creative expression. At $39 per ticket, Velvet Mill Arts Night offers a single-entry experience built around variety, interaction, and a lively indoor atmosphere.
