(4.20) The Providence Athenaeum invites you to meet John Smith, the new director of the RISD Museum of Art, at this Friday’s Salon,
Smith took the helm at the Museum last fall; join us for a conversation with him at the six-month mark. What has he seen so far? What is he thinking about for the future? How does he envision the Museum’s role in an era where the experience of art is no longer always defined by place-based institutions? What role might the Museum play in the future of Providence? Take this opportunity to get to know the Museum’s new director.
Free and open to the public, 5pm to 7pm, Friday, April 20, the Providence Athenaeum, 251 Benefit Street
