(4.19) This image really bothers me. As a former science teacher I feel a need to rearrange the pencils into the classic ROYGBIV rainbow alignment. But these are artists and they see the world differently, thank god, and they certainly can not be expected to function without gray and black pencils. The image comes from the Facebook event page for this year’s RISD Store Sidewalk Sale.
The annual risd:store and risd:store 3D Sidewalk Sale is this Friday, April 19th! Stop by and save up to 80% off on RISD apparel, art supplies, 3D Store supplies, gifts, and books. We can’t wait to see you all there.
I love walking through this store: I always want to buy materials for which I have no use so I can engage in activities for which I have no talent. The gift shop part is pictured below. Above this scene hovers the Watermark Cafe. There are entrances to the RISD Store on both North Main Street and the Canal Walk sides.
RISD Store Sidewalk Sale, 11am to 3pm, Friday, April 19, 30 North Main Street, (directions)
