Opportunities for Artists in the Rhode Island-area
Below are some opportunities for artists in the Rhode Island-area.
Call for Art: Mi Gente Siempre Responde
Poder Radio station Poder1110 and artist Shey Rivera Ríos present “Mi Gente Siempre Responde”, a public art banners project. We invite Rhode Island-based Latinx artists to submit visual art portraits of Latinx healthcare workers from their families or communities, to celebrate their hard work.
These portraits will be transformed as public art banners that will have health-related information to help protect our communities from COVID-19. These banners will be installed in designated locations in the predominantly Latinx neighborhoods of Providence, as vetted by local community leaders in Mayor Elorza’s Latinx Taskforce for COVID-19 Response.
This call for submissions will close on June 10, 2020 at 8:00PM.
Providence Streets Coalition Creative and Safe Streets Applications
As the City of Providence adapts to COVID19 and moves forward with its Great Streets Initiative and Urban Trail Network and RIPTA continues improving our public transportation, the Providence Streets Coalition seeks to build excitement, momentum, and grassroots support for safer and healthier streets, expanded public space, and more transportation choices in our local communities by offering mini-grants of $500-3,000.
Applications will be reviewed starting June 1st, 2020 and granted on a rolling basis.
