Participating Artists: Ann Garthwaite, Barry Wenskowicz, Charles Kimes, Christina Delage Baza, Elizabeth O’Connor, Gail McEnery, Gerard MacKay, Howard Rotblat-Walker, Jessica Nalbandian, Joan A. Plouff, June B. House, Kristen Benedetti, Lilian M. Almeida, Lorraine A. Hynes, Marietta Cleasby, Marilyn Mooney, Sally Johnson, Steven Tella, Timothy Ives
Atrium Gallery at One Capitol Hill
Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) developed the Atrium Gallery to recognize talented artists from communities throughout the state. The Atrium Gallery hosts multidisciplinary exhibitions in partnership with diverse artists and cultural organizations. The gallery features a stunning tall glass ceiling with light that cascades into an open space surrounded by three walls of artwork. This has become a destination point for visitors and the many people who frequent the Administration offices at One Capitol Hill, while enriching the environment for hundreds of state workers in the building.
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts is a state agency supported by appropriations from the Rhode Island General Assembly and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. RISCA provides grants, technical assistance and staff support to arts organizations and artists, schools, community centers, social service organizations and local governments to bring the arts into the lives of Rhode Islanders.
