Hoping to capitalize on the thriving arts industry in Providence, Mayor David N. Cicilline and the city Department of Art, Culture and Tourism have launched an ambitious $60,000 project to prepare a cultural plan for the capital city.

“The cultural plan will explore the current strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities for the city’s arts and cultural sector,” Cicilline said. “The focus will be on stimulating economic development, building links with the creative economy, developing a strong network of arts learning opportunities, and enhancing the quality of life in Providence.”
