Policy & Pinot

Policy & Pinot is our public discussion series held in conjunction with the Providence Athaneum.

Latest Event: "Visual Arts in the Creative Capitol"

Listen to the discussion here.

Providence has the Rhode Island School of Design, easy access to New York and Boston, yet the so-called Creative Capitol doesn't have much of a contemporary art scene.

Why is that?

We explored that question and whether Providence might look to RISD and vacant mills to turn the city into a destination for up and coming artists.

The discussion was recorded on May 8th at the Providence Atheneum

Moderator: Elisabeth Harrison

Panel: Vanpuothong Souvannasane, co-founder of Yellow Peril Gallery
Judith Champa, editor in chief, Art New England magazine
Sara Ganz Blythe, director of educational programs at the RISD museum
Jay Zehngebot, Providence-based artist

2010: an election season to remember
