2024 Annual Report

A Year of Creative Impact

2024 was a progressive year for Art Connection Rhode Island (ACRI). Guided by our mission, “Connecting Lives with Art”, we expanded our outreach, deepened community engagement, and brought the healing power of art to a wide array of nonprofit and healthcare facilities across the state.

From our 13th Anniversary Fundraising Event to the impactful Connecting Lives With Art exhibition at the Atrium Gallery, this year underscored the profound connection between creativity and community. Each piece of artwork that we placed tells a story, not just of the artist who created it, but of the people and places who receive it.

We reached exciting new milestones: 2,090 artworks placed across 133 nonprofits since inception in 2011. Through calming landscapes in a clinic or expressive works in a supportive housing center, every piece helps foster comfort and inspiration.

These achievements are only possible because of the generosity of our artist donors, the passion of our nonprofit partners, and the dedication of our supporters. Together, we are proving that art deserves to be an accessible resource to all.

As we look ahead, ACRI remains committed to expanding our impact. We will continue to bring art into spaces of healing, grow our workshop programs, and center the community voice in everything we do. To learn more about our 2024 impact, download the 2024 Annual Report.
