Show Your Work in PARIS+FRIENDS

Providence Public Library—in collaboration with Art, Culture and Tourism, AS220 and OPEN—will honor the legacy of Adrian “Paris” Fernandez with the group exhibition in the library’s Joan T. Boghossian Gallery. The exhibition pays homage to Paris by mirroring his style–invitation, collaboration, and determination. The show will highlight Paris’ artwork alongside the many friends who collaborated with him over the years – past, present and future.

Whether or not Paris ever programmed your work, if this call speaks to you–if you knew Paris, if he hung your show, if you collaborated with him, if you spent time together thinking through life’s mysteries, if you were planning on something together down the line, please consider yourself invited.

Dropping Off Work

Please drop works at the Providence Public Library, Joan T. Boghossian Gallery, Fl. 3. That’s at 150 Empire Street downtown. You may bring work by either Saturday Feb 14 from 10-3:30pm or Tuesday Feb 17 from 10am-4pm. If possible, please also fill out the PPL’s intake form here so we can keep track of all works. If you are unable to do so in advance, someone will assist you during drop off. Need a time outside of these? Email Rebecca Noon at ACT (rnoon@providenceri.gov).

Please ensure your work is prepped to be hung or displayed in the ideal manner for your piece. We want to fill the space with everything and everyone Paris loved regardless of medium or size. We all know that Paris appreciated a challenge, so let’s make sure the space is full.

Long Live Paris.
