Description

Rhode Island writers reflect on the theme of “Emergence” in front of Natalia Rak’s Adventure Time mural in downtown Providence. As local arts organizations and business reopen, celebrate our cultural moment of transition at “Emergence,” an open-air showcase. On Thurs, Aug 5 from 7-9pm local writers will read stories, essays and poetry on the theme of "emergence" against the backdrop of the iconic Adventure Time mural at 94 Washington St in downtown Providence. Commissioned by The Avenue Concept, the mural’s image of a door opening onto a new world aligns with the theme of the evening as we honor artist Natalia Rak and the work before it is transitioned later this fall. This event is hosted by What Cheer Writers Club in partnership with The Avenue Concept and in collaboration with PVDFest. It was made possible by generous funding from the Providence Tourism Council.
