Next Tuesday, May 8th, Rhode Island Public Radio will host a conversation about the state of the contemporary arts in Providence at the Providence Athenaeum, a part of their ongoing Policy & Pinot public series.
With the incredible amounts of talent coming out of RISD and Brown (just yesterday Brown announced this year's recipients of the Weston Fine Arts Award) , RIPR asks why the contemporary arts scene in the "Creative Capitol" isn't more active. Panelists will discuss possible limiting factors, including creative real estate and state funding priorities. The conversation will also explore the ways in which the city can promote the contemporary arts.
Moderated by RIPR’s Education reporter Elizabeth Harrison, panelists will include Judith Tolnick
Champa, Editor-in-Chief of Art New England magazine; Vanphouthon
Souvannasane, co-founder of Olneyville's Yellow Peril gallery; Sarah
Ganz Blythe, Director of Education at the Museum of Art RISD; Sara
Agniel, co-founder of Buonaccorsi+Agniel gallery; and artist Jay Zehngebot.
Come, drink, and discuss. 5:30pm reception; 6pm program
RSVPs should be sent to Danielle Blasczak at danielle@ripr.org. Further information can be found on RIPR's website.
