Reviving a city with the arts

Looking for something to do on the weekend?   Want to have farm fresh food?  Check out the Providence Wintertime Farmers’ Market.

Providence Wintertime Farmers' Market

Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is host to an indoor farmers’ market even in the cold icy New England winter.  All winter long treat yourself to fresh Lettuces, arugula, bok choi, kale, collards, cabbage, chard, apples, cider, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, leeks, garlic, radishes, chilis, fresh herbs, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, winter squash, oysters, beef, pork, Narragansett Creamery cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup. 

While you are there, I strongly suggest checking out any open studios that might be going on at Hope Artiste Village.  You will be surprised by the amazing beauty of the artwork available.  Many of these artists were featured in the Pawtucket Rising Documentary.

I’ve mentioned this before on my website, but it is worth noting again in my blog.  ArtCalendar.com has voted Pawtucket, RI as the #9 top city for working artists.
