PROVIDENCE When a downtown stretch of rivers was dredged two winters ago, Dan Goulet had an idea for what to do with the inordinate amount of trash pulled from the sandy bottom:
Pack all the twisted bikes, rusting electric scooters, dirty clothes and loads and loads of plastic bags into a giant plexiglass box and put it on display somewhere as a lesson about waste and what consumer behavior can do to our waterways.
It may have sounded like idle musing when Goulet, the marine infrastructure coordinator for the state Coastal Resources Management Council, talked about his de facto art project while the taxpayer-funded work on the Woonasquatucket and Providence rivers was in full swing, but he meant what he said.
PROVIDENCE
Anyone who travels to America s big cities like San Francisco is familiar with parklets. They extend the sidewalk with art installations or sitting areas. They create a pleasing aesthetic element to the streetscape.
It s lovely to see these popping up in Providence, extending outside dining rooms with art, even if they are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of the state s Take It Outside initiative, The Steel Yard, a nonprofit industrial art center on Sims Street in Providence, has partnered with the city s Department of Art, Culture + Tourism. With grants from Rhode Island Commerce, The Steel Yard is delivering original artwork installations to restaurants and other businesses.
