Since
1999, Rhode Island Citizens for the Arts has been working actively
to help protect and advance funding and other benefits for artists
and arts organizations in Rhode Island. We strive to understand
the needs of Rhode Island artists and arts organizations, act
as a voice for the arts community in front of legislature, and
further raise awareness and support among the community-at-large.
The volunteer Board of Directors represents arts organizations,
individual artists, arts administrators, researchers and supporters.
The organization's goals are achieved through the financial
support of arts organizations and individual memberships. |
