With the perfect combination of great seaside views, colorful local culture, and endless family activities, Rhode Island is a big vacation destination in a small package. Whether you are into art and culture, beautiful seaside sights, or great family-friendly activities, there is sure to be something for you in Rhode Island. If you're staying in Newport, try a breathtaking tour of the harbor in the Schooner Madeleine, or enjoy a bit of history at Fort Adams State Park. The Newport mansions are one of the most popular attractions around, and the nearby Cliff Walk is a great place for a hike. Narragansett is home to the lovely Narragansett Town Beach and Point Judith Lighthouse, and if you hop on the Block Island Ferry you are only a short trip away from Block Island, where you can enjoy the sights of the Mohegan Bluffs or party it up at Capt. Nick's Rock and Roll Bar. Take a drive up to Providence for some great shopping at Providence Place Mall and to visit the unforgettable Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Although not comparable to nearby Harvard, this is nonetheless a beautiful campus. Buildings are fine old brick structures reminiscent of the old world. The fence bordering the main heart of campus is a thing of beauty in itself, and bears dates which commemorate events and persons integral to the founding and early years of Brown U. The Brown family home can be seen close by and modest by present presidential mansions of other universities. Take the time to venture out to visit this sprawling campus.

To go to this school of Art you must be very,very good.When you apply here they want to see your work.What do you do outside of school,what are your interests. And on and on and on. Rightly so, as this is one of if not the finest school of Art in the world. Students from all over the world come here to refine their work. This is the school where when you get out and graduate you can write your own ticket to the best companies in the world. Or you can become an artist on your own or work if you take the classes for great architecture companies. It does not have a fancy campus,mostly single buildings laid out across the school area.Near the nice campus nearby of Brown University. Attached to the school itself is its outstanding museum.World class.A large,very high class place where art is all around you of every kind from every part of the art world. It is a must see if you are in Rhodel Island as it is the finest museum in the State of Rhode Island. If you are a young high school student or the parent of one who wants to make their mark in the world of Art,this is the place to look at, bar non. below info is for the museum to go to visit. check the days and hours it is open.

yes,this a true Art location inside an old historic courthouse made of Stone. They have a lot of different great events including many music events that are just outstanding. A lot of the events are posted outside by the entrance. Or just go inside and get an up to date list of What is going on. Tickets are reasonable prices and they have a limited amount of refreshments. It funds other art and education programs which we should all keep going anyway.A great cause to keep the arts in the area going ...You can go online to see what events are going on or are coming in the near future.We even years ago went to a New Years event here and it was a lot of fun.

Went to a birthday party at Center and it was wonderful. The person who did the tour/demo for the kids was fantastic and took his time to explain about the fish and turtles over and over again, the kids were 7! Would highly recommend it as there is plenty to see and plenty to do.
