Providence is a wonderful choice as host for the conference. The commitment to promoting the arts shows everywhere here. There is a reason they bill themselves as the creative capital.
One of the biggest draws downtown is the restored Providence Performing Arts Center. Had a chance to get my first tour of PPAC and to grab lunch with marketing director Lynn Singleton today. If you are in Providence it's worth your time to see the remarkable old theatre that originally opened in 1928.
Tomorrow the Collaboraction conference starts and I'm really looking forward to a number of the sessions. A panel of Massachusetts arts groups presents on Collaborative Cultural Tourism in what should be a great afternoon session for the first day. Then the Museum of Art at Rhode Island School of Design hosts our reception tomorrow evening.
More thoughts from RI throughout the weekend.
