People’s Creative Workshop: Connecting To The Creative Self July 17 @ 9:00 am  -  11:00 am In this workshop we learn tools to connect to our creative self, using prompts and a journal to write poetry, thoughts and responses. We will provide journals and pens and you will receive prompts and exercises to awaken the creative self, with a focus on gratitude. There is a lot to celebrate for being able to be in community again. Your journal is a live document, it is a reflection of your observations and point of view and will assist you in honoring your creative practice. Registration is required in advance!   All are welcome. Minors under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration fee can be waived upon request by  emailing the Roger Williams Park Conservancy.   https://rwpconservancy.org/event/peoples-creative-workshop-connecting-to-the-creative-self/

https://pageantforprovidence.com/ THE DETAILS "A s we lived through the events of the past year, we sought to make an experience that would give space for mourning, for protest, to scream at the sky, and to hope for the future. A piece that would offer, if not closure, something like catharsis. A piece made of by and for the people of Providence, Rhode Island."

" This summer, artists Shey Rivera Ríos and Sussy Santana collaborate with SISTA Fire members in a creative process called A Soft Fire. We are gathering biweekly in-person for working sessions, A Soft Fire puts art into practice as a vessel for healing and community organizing. A Soft Fire will culminate as a collaborative, community art project with and by SISTA Fire members in the fall. If you're a SISTA Fire member and have not registered, please see the link below." https://sistafireri.org/

Public Art Project: Mi gente siempre responde H ealthcare workers and the essential workforce in Rhode Island represent a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities. And Latinx people are a big part of this essential workforce. Tony Méndez of radio station Poder 1110, artist Shey Rivera Ríos, poet Sussy Santana, and the City of Providence invite Latinx visual artists to celebrate and recognize the Latinx healthcare workers in Rhode Island, who are helping to manage the COVID-19 crisis. Seven visual pieces by local Latinx artists have been selected to be turned into large public art banners. These banners will be installed in designated Providence neighborhoods, on important venues to the Latinx community.  Their art will also be part of a virtual exhibit and a bilingual community coloring book (Spanish + English). Radio station Poder 1110 will interview the artists and the health workers who are featured in the artwork. Their stories will be featured in Poder 1110’s programming, and bann
