South Providence Gallery Tour

July 12 & August 16, 2-4 PM
Begins at the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center
As part of Museo del Barrio, Rhode Island Latino Arts (RILA) is partnering with the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center and the Roger Williams Park Museum of Natural History and Planetarium for the first-ever South Providence Museum & Gallery Tour.

On three Sunday afternoons—June 14, July 12, and August 16 from 2:00-4:00pm—we invite you to spend a few hours exploring art, history, and community right here in South Providence.

The tour begins at the Gateway Center, where visitors can view nine portraits as part of the Somos Rhode Island collection created by Rene Gómez. These portraits are of Rhode Islanders whose stories helped shape our community and inspired the oral histories that later became La Broa’, this summer’s Teatro en El Verano production.

Thank you to @risca1967 for helping make this event possible!
In August, we took a tour of the Roger Williams Park Produce Donation Garden with garden leaders Kim and Deb to see what they were harvesting! Sponsored by the @rwpbotanicalcenter and run by volunteer @urimastergardeners, this flourishing vegetable garden feeds the community by growing and donating fresh, organic produce to local food banks and kitchens, and serves as public education. 

They’re on track to grow over 3,500 pounds of food this year! 🍅🫑

The resourceful team of volunteers relies on help from the community. Visit the link in bio to learn more and see their wishlist of items ranging from lumber and hardware cloth to tools and supplies.

Stay tuned for part 2! 🌱
Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we're ending the season a little early, so we won't be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
