*************

Under Yarrow’s bold and passionate leadership, we developed “avenues” for public art, creating spaces where hundreds of artists, civic and business leaders and advocates could connect and share stories through high-quality public art experiences.

With murals, sculptures, legal graffiti walls, and events like Avenue Sandwich, Influx, and TAC Activations, we’ve combined mark-making, music, art, skateboarding, food, photography, video, storytelling, and community initiatives. We have produced 300+ public artworks and experiences, dramatically changing the look, feel, and engagement with Providence and beyond. Let’s celebrate the last ten and imagine the next ten years together!

We'll gather together at our partner site for this event!
