For 20 years, FirstWorks has wielded the power of the arts to build an inclusive and brilliantly diverse community. We can’t do this alone. Nearly 90% of our overhead is covered by the generous support of partners, sponsors, and champions like you.

Your vital support is what keeps us moving forward. We’ve grown from an initial vision and a $15,000 seed grant to a working budget of $1.6 million. We are not done. We are continuing to expand our reach and unite our community. To do this, we need your help.

Through world-class artist residencies, FirstWorks engages the community and our youth with the issues of our time, paths to activism, and mind-opening creativity. We connect audiences with iconic artists and new generation masters, creating multiple access points through public performances, free festivals, engagement events, and education. Your support allows us to continue our mission while developing innovative strategies to propel Rhode Island’s future.

With your help, we are making the arts available to all.

Join us in making a difference.

Give. Whether a donation of time, resources, or monetary gift, you can be the driving force in bringing the most significant creative voices from across the globe to audiences and under-served students throughout Rhode Island.
