2023 Curatorial Fellow, Haley Peters, designed and curated Art of the Tides. The exhibition featured work by five Providence-based artists under 25 and focused on the artists’ relationships with Rhode Island waterways. The exhibition was on view at Sin Bakery in Providence, RI in April 2023.
“I am interested in working with young artists in Providence and exploring the following questions: How do we connect to our aquatic environments? How can we describe these connections through art, music, and culture? What are the values of these waterways from a human and animal perspective? I plan to organize a gallery show featuring their work at a local coffee shop so it is accessible to all. ”
