URI Feinstein Providence Campus Gallery, 80 Washington Street, Providence, RI, 02903, United States.

Women’s Fund of Rhode Island (WFRI) is closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in regard to our upcoming community events. As you know, this is a rapidly evolving situation, and we recognize the need to be flexible.
 
 
Rather than meeting in person at the URI Feinstein Campus as originally planned for our March 26 Mocktails and Conversations: Politically Engaged Art, we’ll be hosting the event virtually instead. Our panelists will be streaming their conversation live through Zoom and the conversation will be open to questions and conversations afterward.
 
 
 
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
When: Mar 26, 2020 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Topic: Politically Engaged Art

We hope that you will still join us! This is an opportunity to participate if you are out of town or from the comfort of your own home. You can put on some comfy clothes, make a mocktail/cocktail of your choice, and sip while you watch.
 
 
 
The panel discussion will feature artists using different media to create artwork reflecting political themes that are relevant in our times. We'll delve deep into the inspiration and methods each artist uses and the impact that their work is having each community. Our moderator is Judith Lynn Stillman, Pianist/Composer, Artist-in-Residence and Professor of Music at Rhode Island College.
 
 
 
Panelists include:
 
Charlotte Abotsi, Poet and Director of the Providence Poetry Slam
 
Kira Hawkridge, Artistic and Founding Director of OutLoud Theatre
 
Monique Rolle Johnson, Painter, and Art Educator
