Four Hundred and One Postcards for the Arts RISD Museum 20 N Main St., Providence, RI Sunday May 25, 2025 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM Arts & cultural industries contributed $1.2 Trillion to the U.S. economy in 2023, which was 4.2% of GDP! Here in Rhode Island, the arts and culture sector generated $2,568,488,000, supporting 17,424 jobs. It’s the third largest sector economically in our state, just behind retail and construction. That’s a lotta clams! But consider this: the arts are just 0.02% of our state’s $13.96 billion budget. That’s 2/100’s of 1 percent! We can do so much better! Join Awesome Foundation Rhode Island and Friends at The RISD Museum on Sunday May 25, 2025 and help decorate 401 postcards in support of increased arts funding! Your art, our stamps. Help our legislators imagine what Rhode Island would be like with more art! We’ll be on the ground floor; the room with big glass windows facing North Main Street.
