Art Connection RI is throwing a fundraising party to help strengthen our mission to Connect Lives With Art! We are thrilled to have the event at Shri Yoga, whose community-driven values align with our own.

Come help us celebrate the positive impact of art in our community while enjoying great food, drink, music and a raffle for baskets filled with items and gift certificates generously donated by local businesses.

This year, our event will introduce you to the new location of Shri Yoga, a social enterprise and urban outreach service organization whose community driven values align with our own. The MC of the event will be Alison Bologna, an award-winning journalist who co-anchors NBC10 News Sunrise, and founder and developer of Shri.

The purpose of this fundraiser is to help us strengthen our mission to Connect Lives With Art — providing original artwork to Rhode Island non-profit organizations that serve under-resourced communities. By generously donating their artwork, over 100 artists have enabled ACRI to place original art on bare walls at health clinics, behavioral healthcare facilities, and shelters, greeting their clients and patients, and bringing art into lives that need it most.
