  innovation
• - engage new audiences and artists across the region
• - catalyze creativity and dialogue

Beginning with an unprecedented collaboration with Providence's Department of Art, Culture & Tourism, FirstWorks has formed extraordinary partnerships across the university, arts, and business communities.
