OUR STUDENTS' PVD PICKS

for international theatre and musical acts
BANKNEWPORT CITY CENTER(PROVIDENCE RINK)

“Providence is a beautiful and artistic city with a lot to offer. There is art all around the city; buildings are painted with huge murals and there are sculptures scattered around .... I recommend visiting Weybosset Street, Thayer Street, and The Arcade Providence. They are fun areas to walk around and have a ton of small shops with interesting finds.” — Leah Ward ’23
ROGER WILLIAMS PARK
for swan boat rides, a zoo, a natural history museum/planetarium, and food truck nights
RISD MUSEUM
where JWU students get free admission
WATERFIRE
for live entertainment and food vendors against a backdrop of music and artistry
