Guided Public Art Walking Tours
The Avenue Concept’s Guided Public Art Walking Tours offer a casual way of looking at art in the public realm while digging into artists and their techniques, talking about how art conveys a sense of place, and enjoying the beauty in Providence. Through prompting questions and rich dialogue, we offer an opportunity to deeply engage with the Public Art surrounding our creative city.
Join us for one of our walking tours; you’re sure to deepen your love for art and develop an even closer relationship to Providence.
Our tours are one hour long and include stops at 5-7 of our most iconic downtown pieces. For more info, feel free to explore the “Additional Tour Info” section at the bottom of this page.

Additional Tour Info
Weather Policy
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothes. Bring an extra layer and raincoats/umbrellas. (You’ll be glad that you wore an extra layer if it’s breezy!).
Cancellation Policy
We live in New England and don’t mind a misty walk with some public art. We will, however, cancel tours during times of hard rain.
For the safety and comfort of participants, tours will be canceled in the event of rain. If your tour is canceled due to weather, you may either:
- Reschedule for a future available date, or
- Receive a full refund of your ticket purchase.
Group Tours vs. Individual Tickets
What’s the difference between booking a Group Tour and an Individual Tour? The former has a 10 person minimum and ensures a private experience for you and your group. You’re welcome to book up to 40 individual tickets for your group through the Individual Ticket portal, it may just mean you’ll be joined by new friends.
What You'll See
Our tours take one hour and stops at multiple art pieces produced by our organization. On the way we’ll point out utility boxes, sculptures and other fun public art pieces that we like.
If you’re interested in knowing more about the works we’ve produced in Providence, feel free to explore the “Public Art” tab in our menu bar. Each piece has more information about hte artists, the meaning of the work, and much more.
