The Art Connection-RI

TAC-RI connects artists and donors to social benefit organizations who might not otherwise be able to acquire original art due to financial restrictions. Though we are in the service of placing artwork into the lives of low-income constituents and staff of clinics, shelters and other community service agencies it is the process by which we operate that modestly reveals our latent mission. Before we curate the donated art into an exuberant presentation we call for a varied sample of staff, volunteers, and patrons - a full representation of the community which the receiving organizations serve - to take part in the decision making process. By way of finding a home for donated artwork, TAC-RI provides a platform for empowered and collective decision making.
