Roger Williams Park - The People's Park of Providence, RI

Roger Williams Park: an “essential place” for you, your family, and your community.

Roger Williams Park is an “essential place”. Your support ensures everyone can enjoy it.

The People’s Park served both as a personal refuge and a safe gathering place during the upheavals of 2020. Now we offer you the chance to give back. Help us plant trees or bring music back to the park in 2021, ensuring the Park remains a vibrant, green place for everyone to enjoy.

In this workshop, we will make temporary, site-specific works of art in Roger Williams Park. Using only materials and forms readily found on the grounds, participants will be asked to reimagine the park and its contents in new and inventive ways.
