Art Gallery at T.F. Green Airport Hits the (Radio) Airwaves

The Public's Radio reporter Luis Hernandez made a visit to T.F. Green International Airport but not to depart on a plane. His destination was our GREEN SPACE Gallery, a partnership with Rhode Island Airport Corporation. Once he arrived, he met up with the latest artists, Mandy Howe, Tiffany Mendez, Izzy Rodriguez, who will be exhibiting in the gallery.

As the artists assembled their exhibits, with travelers arriving and departing the airport, they talked with Hernandez about how the gallery brings visibility to their work with an ever-changing audience of local, national and international visitors.

Participate in the Theory of Change Study 

The City of Providence is participating in Arts for EveryBody led by One Nation/One Project, a national arts and wellness initiative. As part of this project, Dr. Jill Sonke at the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine is conducting a research study to examine the connection between arts participation and the health of a community.

You can help with the process by participating in the survey.

Summit on Arts and Culture in Communities

The White House Domestic Policy Council and National Endowment for the Arts partnered for a first-of-its-kind national convening on Jan. 30 to explore how the arts cross sectors to contribute to the healing of our nation. The summit was historic in nature, with members of the president's cabinet participating in conversation and dialogue for the daylong event.

Attendees included leaders from many sectors such as government officials, policymakers, artists, arts advocates, academics, philanthropic program officers, labor, and community leaders. Rhode Island was represented by AC+T Director Joe Wilson Jr., artist organizer Shey Rivera Rios, and RISCA's Executive Director Lynne McCormack. Together, they discussed, considered, and shared ideas, policies, best practices, and action steps to better integrate and elevate the arts and humanities throughout our country.

Another resource covering a similar subject is the the National Assembly of State Arts Agency’s paper on cross collaboration and the impact of the arts on health and well-being.
