October Is Arts and Humanities Month

This year, the theme Collective Responsibility references the way in which the arts community serves our state through education, investment in youth development and lifelong learning. Rhode Island’s artists, culture bearers, and arts and culture organizations contribute to our quality of life daily. We have activities planned that will spark conversation and ideas centered on creating social connections, driving economic opportunities, improving health outcomes, and imagining new visions for the future.
