Exciting news! The Providence Art Club is delighted to be the recipient of a 2026 Rhody Award for Historic Preservation from Preserve Rhode Island. The Art Club will receive this year’s Stewardship Award for our care of our four historic properties on Thomas Street.

Thank you to the many dedicated volunteers, staff members, and contractors who have been a part of preserving and improving the Art Club’s campus over many decades. We are particularly proud of our recent restoration work on the National Historic Landmark Fleur de Lys Studios Building, a beloved Providence icon.

If you’ve visited Providence, you’ve likely seen our charming streetscape consisting of buildings that now house galleries, studios, and gathering spaces. Over the last 140+ years we’ve worked hard to maintain these properties with care. Our galleries are always free and open to the public so be sure to step inside after appreciating our historic architecture.

And mark your calendar for the Rhody Awards, coming up October 25!
