Arts and Humanities Month
Governor McKee and the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) are proud to celebrate October's Arts and Humanities Month. We have planned exhibits and programs that explore arts and culture’s key role in strengthening, developing and creating healthier communities and individual wellbeing throughout the state.
Read Governor McKee's Proclamation Declaring October Arts and Humanities Month
This year, the theme Collective Responsibility references the way in which the arts community serves our state through education, investment in youth development and lifelong learning. Rhode Island's artists, culture bearers, and arts and culture organizations contribute to our quality of life daily. We have activities planned that will spark conversation and ideas centered on creating social connections, driving economic opportunities, improving health outcomes, and imagining new visions for the future.
