In 2025, ACRI partnered with Hattie Ide Chaffee Home. Together, we placed 40 original artworks in their new rehabilitation wing and common spaces, bringing inspiration to their residents and staff. ACRI is so grateful for their partnership and the opportunity to continue to bring art to communities across Rhode Island.
It’s stories like these we are celebrating at our upcoming 15th Anniversary Fundraiser, “A State Connected By Art,” on April 30 from 5:30 – 8:00PM at ACRI’s Art Studio in Pawtucket.
For fifteen years, ACRI has connected Rhode Island artists with nonprofits, placing more than 2,280 original works of art. This milestone event will bring together artists, nonprofit partners, and supporters for an evening celebrating creativity and community impact. Proceeds directly sustain ACRI’s Art Placement Program and art outreach initiatives.
