GIVING BEYOND THE BOX

MURAL MASTERPIECE
The Pawtucket Foundation was recently awarded a HArT grant from Commerce RI, utilizing CARE Act funding to help the arts and tourism industries hurt by COVID.
We found a terrific way to showcase the very talented artist, Sagie Vandelina De La Cruz, who is also the artist who had been selected for art at the train station.
Sagie Vandelina De La Cruz is working on a new masterpiece in Downtown Pawtucket right in the privately owned (by the YMCA) parking lot. This is walking distance to many of the Take it Outside grant recipients.
CALLING PAWTUCKET ARTISTS!
The Pawtucket Advisory Commission on Arts & Culture is looking to feature local, Pawtucket artists on their ARTS-a-GRAM page. Learn how your work can be featured!
