2010 FELLOWSHIP EXHIBITION, FROM RHODE ISLAND STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS


2010 Fellowship Exhibition
The Artists Reception on February 12th was a fabulous event! 200 attendees enjoyed words of encouragement from Senator Walter Felag acknowledging the importance of the arts in Warren and throughout Rhode Island, a fantastic performance by Lydia Perez and her band Yoruba 2, great food and the company of amazing artists. And did we mention the gorgeous artwork in the gallery? People are also still talking about the wonderful Writers Night on February 19th, with about 90 attendees and captivating readings by RISCA's Fellowship Writers.

If you have not yet seen the Fellowship Exhibition, this week is your last chance and we have two more events to entice you:
