The 40th Annual RI Open opens next month at the Warwick Center for the Arts.

Juried this year by @richardwhittenart, Professor of Painting at Rhode Island College, the RI Open is a themeless show. 40 years of giving Rhode Island artists a wall for whatever they've been making. The result is a wide range of media and a room that rewards a slow walk through it.

· Opening reception: Thursday, October 8, 6:30 – 8pm
· Show run: October 8 – November 21, 2026
· Gallery hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 12 – 5

Warwick Center for the Arts, 3259 Post Road, Warwick RI
Parking: 3273 Post Road, lot behind the building

Free and open to all

Work pictured: Em Loren, "Coffin Bed" · Anna Wingfield, "Rotary Phone" · Paul Briggs, "Untitled (i)" · Marc Jaffe, "Stand Off" · Paul M. Murray, "The Daily Grind"

Volunteer with us at the WCFA!

We're looking for two kinds of volunteers

· Gallery Ambassadors
Help in welcoming visitors, talk about the work on the walls, and learn how exhibits are hung and lit. A great fit if you're curious about how a gallery runs.

· Classroom Ambassadors
Assist our instructors during classes and vacation camps, and pick up new mediums while helping others.

Open to ages 13 and up, so a great option for teens.

Hours are flexible around our schedule.

Ask a staff member next time you're in, or email admin@warwickcfa.org
