Inspired by the vision of developing decommissioned schools located on one of the oldest village green in New England into an arts and culture district, Arts in Common believes that a revitalized commons will provide Bristol the imagination and energy to transform the buildings and the 17th century common into a dynamic 21st century space for creative civic life.

GET INVOLVED  Many hands make light work — would you consider joining the team? Call or email us today: 401 237-0779  or artsincommon401@gmail.com.​ 

BECOME A CAPITAL SPONSOR   As you consider charities to support this year,  we would like to ask you to become an Arts In Common seed capital sponsor.

OUR GOAL   Create a 21st Century Commons as the heart of a local arts and culture sector that catalyzes economic vitality by creating a supportive environment where artists and people in the arts economy can live, work and play.  Just a year old, we have our 501c3, and are already a collaboration 100+ local artists, arts organizations, businesses and community residents with the full support of the Town of Bristol and Roger Williams University. 
​
In 2017, we are focusing our efforts to create both a Physical Commons and a Digital Commons — repurposing common buildings as well as leveraging innovative technology and business best practices to create a digital infrastructure for regional arts and culture collaboration, access and engagement.

PHYSICAL COMMONS  Already in place is a fully sustainable transformation plan to redevelop/ rehab/reuse the decommissioned Walley school on Bristol Common.

DIGITAL COMMONS  In development is a scalable arts network to foster digital and mobile platforms to support and amplify engagement.

Last year we were 100% funded by our leadership and volunteers. For our second year, we seek to raise $50,000 to cover operational costs and digital infrastructure investments. Can you help? 

Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity — we guarantee every dollar will be put toward the realization of Bristol’s 21st Century Commons.
