From February to July 2016 the Providence Public Library is hosting an ongoing series of exhibits and events that toys with the notion of temporality and time. Called Portals, it engages in speculation while examining the past. On April 4 they will open their digital audio exhibit Providence 2050-Visualizing Tomorrow with a reception at 5:30 followed by a 6:30 discussion.

Meet the participants, enjoy a signature cocktail, and participate in a conversation with some of our interviewees where we’ll explore two main themes that emerged from the interviews:
Innovation: Providence as a place to take risks
Inclusion: Providence as a place that celebrates social justice

Beehive-Jazz-ClubJazz is the music that my soul turns to as a default. I went through a classic rock phase, did the whole punk/ska thing, I even enjoy some classical/orchestral on the side, but my heart explodes whenever I listen to some old time jazz. When I hear the opening notes of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme or journey through the labyrinth of Dave Brubeck’s Time Out!, something inside me bursts like a firecracker in the night.

On August 8 at 2 PM, local youth ages 12-18 will be holding a free jazz concert, “The Harlem Strut, at the Providence Public Library Main Branch at 150 Empire Street. Under the musical direction of  Lynne Jackson and Michael Palter and the artistic direction of Robb Dimmick, these twelve musicians come from a variety of backgrounds and include students Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts (TAPA), having spent six hours a day rehearsing in anticipation of the event.
