The Providence Art Club

The Providence Art Club was founded in 1880 by a unique group of individuals. The founders were professional and amateur artists and art collectors, including women and an African-American artist, Edward Mitchell Bannister.  The founders’ goal was to encourage and support art in the community. The Club has expanded into a procession of four picturesque historic buildings that are home to studios, three galleries and the clubhouse. Through public programs, an outstanding curriculum of art instruction classes, and an active exhibition schedule, the Club continues its proud tradition of sponsoring and supporting the visual arts in Rhode Island.
