Ripples Project
The Ripples Project is a public art initiative led by The Avenue Concept with support from the City of Providence Office of Mayor Brett P. Smiley and Department of Art, Culture and Tourism.
The Avenue Concept’s Ripples Project has as its goal to leverage multi-organization partnerships in the creation of site-specific, relevant, inclusive, and joyful public art throughout Providence RI. We do this through capacity building initiatives including youth, emerging, and experienced artists, with the support of partner organizations that serve these populations.
As part of the Ripples Project, TAC will paint 50 Utility boxes and roughly 6 murals (equaling 3,600 square feet) over the next 2 years.
Founded in Providence, RI, in 2012, The Avenue Concept is Rhode Island’ leading public art organization. TAC has installed or exhibited more than 250 works of public art, and has invested over $2 million in artwork and infrastructure. The Avenue Concept mission is to produce exceptional visual public art and experiences with artists and communities designed to inspire joy, dialogue, and inclusion; envisioning vibrant public spaces where art is a catalyst to nurture connection, hope, and belonging.
