On May 21, 2021, Rhode Island announced new COVID-19 guidance that is safe to adopt for individuals who are fully vaccinated. Businesses may, but are not required to, supplement these rules with their own rules and policies regarding mask wearing, proof of vaccination, testing and other mitigations.

The Executive Director of RISCA, Randall Rosenbaum, released a statement regarding the new guidelines for those who are vaccinated. Read the statement.

RISCA has heard you and has answers regarding an online place for arts jobs.
After receiving feedback that RI lacks a jobs website for artists, and arts and culture organizations, we stepped up and created a place.
Arts Jobs in RI is for those in the arts community who are seeking a job, and for employers to have a place to post their job searches. The online page is devoted to art and culture workers, and will be updated frequently. Here is the link to the new jobs web page.
Congratulations are in order for nine talented RI Artists who received Assets for Artists (A4A) grants. The organization marked its sixth year of partnering with RISCA for these grants. Read more and meet the artists.
The Artist Relief Fund, which provides small grants to RI based arts and culture workers currently struggling to afford basic needs, will be re-opening on June 1. For this third, and likely final, phase, we anticipate awarding approximately 250 grants of $800 each. The deadline for application will be June 14 at 8 p.m. If you are interested in applying, more information can be found here.
If you are interested in donating to support additional grants, information can be found here.
