Each artist (individual or group) is assigned a space on the rink as his or her ‘canvas' and supplied with artist grade pastel chalk. Visitors watch in amazement as the blank surfaces come to life with a huge variety of beautifully detailed images. Family and friends of the artists as well as everyone attending the festival can vote for 'People's Choice' awards by purchasing $1 tokens from Rotary volunteers and placing them in containers next to the paintings they like best. In addition, cash prizes from a pool of $3,000 are awarded to the best ‘paintings' as determined by a panel of judges.
The Providence Rotary Street Painting Festival is an opportunity for amateur and professional artists to display and gain recognition for their talents, and for thousands of Providence area residents to view and enjoy their work on a beautiful autumn day.
Who benefits from the festival?
Proceeds from the festival benefit the Providence Rotary Charities Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. The foundation makes grants each year to organizations that enrich the lives of underprivileged children in and around Providence.
