Happy holidays!
I’m partial to summer so I won???t endorse December as the most wonderful time of the year. I do know that it???s a great time to support Providence’s artists and cultural organizations.
Holiday sales are the perfect place to discover unique handmade gifts made by local artisans and the winter holidays offer many opportunities to celebrate diverse cultural traditions.
The Department of Art Culture + Tourism maintains a calendar of events throughout the year so you don’t miss out – visit ArtsNowRI today!
December is also a great time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished over the past year. 2016 was an extremely productive – and at points frenetic – year and we are very proud of what we achieved with our community partners. With your support, we presented high quality arts programs, forged meaningful collaborations to advance Creative Providence, adopted cultural equity practices and policies, and successfully cultivated new resources for our creative sector.
We are looking forward to working with you to strengthening arts, culture and creativity in 2017.
Stephanie Fortunato, Director
