Park as Muse ~ City Hall Art Exhibit Features India Point Park

Everyone is invited to the opening reception at Providence City Hall Gallery (the second floor) of an art exhibit inspired by India Point Park Friday, October 10, from 5 to 7pm. Many of the thirty-one artists who have contributed works to this exhibit have agreed to donate a percentage of their sales to Friends of India Point Park, who work tirelessly for that wonderful park overlooking the confluence of the Seekonk and Providence Rivers. Also for sale to benefit the Friends’ projects, is a black and white photograph taken in the 1940s of some boys perched on the pilings in the river.

The exhibit will continue until November 28, 2008, Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 4:30. The full press release is on the What Grows On in Rhode Island News Blog.
