The Providence Public Library has reimagined what a library can be—transforming its beautifully renovated space into a vibrant cultural hub where creativity, learning, and community intersect. More than just a place for books, it has become a gathering space for ideas, performances, and collaborations that celebrate the arts in all forms.

While the library does not run its own arts programming, it plays a vital role in supporting those who do. By opening its doors to local artists, performers, and cultural organizations, the library serves as both a stage and a resource—helping Rhode Island’s creative community thrive. The White Family Foundation’s support recognizes the library’s unique contribution to the arts ecosystem, ensuring that this community-centered space continues to inspire imagination and connection for all.
