Providence Commemoration Lab

A collaboration of the Providence Department of Art, Culture and Tourism and the Rhode Island Historical Society. Funded in part by the Mellon Foundation and the American Rescue Plan.

The Providence Commemoration Lab Begins!

We’re at the very beginning of a journey here at the Providence Commemoration Lab. Just this week, we’re on-boarding our nine artists and artist-teams, bringing us ever-closer to understanding how these three sites of commemoration at Columbus Square, Public Street, and Roger Williams Park will be activated.

We’re just beginning to fill our website; over the coming months we’ll use it to get you closer to the PCL artists and their activities.

Process is important to us, and so we hope you join us in congratulating all of the artists who applied. To read our press release, click here. To learn more about the original Call for Artists, click here.

Providence is lucky to be a home to an incredible range of makers, dreamers and doers, and our esteemed panel of thoughtful leaders from across the spectrum of art-making and history-keeping had a big job in selecting the nine artists from a competitive group of close to 40 who applied, each of whom holds incredible practices that impact our community everyday.

No matter where your skills, background, interests or experiences with commemoration lie, we hope you can find your way into this process over the next year and beyond.
