“Where do we even walk in? It must be closed.” “No, it’s open, the entrance is…” My sister and I stared at the ten-foot high, double, wooden doors, there are no signs posted, but we still reached for the handles and pulled open. We strolled into the unknown; into Fountain Street Church. I was expecting the work from ArtPrize to be the main attraction in this one hundred year old building, but was easily distracted by the beauty of the architecture within Fountain Street Church.

When we first walked into the Main Hall, we followed our group leader up to the front to bow to the Adi Granth. The service had already been in session for a while, so walking up to…

Upon entering the RISD museum I was greeted by the quaint streets of the historic east-side of Providence. It's often an overlooked part of town due to the city life but really earns it's merit in beautifully restored colonial homes and colorful street art. The streets had tall green trees that bordered the sidewalk perfectly, and the light post were littered with local stickers either for a cause or promoting a local artist.
