Remarks from Randall Rosenbaum, Executive Director, Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, Steven Lubar, Director, John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage and Janice Kissinger, CEO, Slater Mill.
The Community Guild Studios, a fine craft and fiber arts center for the people of Rhode Island and Southeastern New England – something which does not exist despite our state’s long and rich history of textile design and manufacturing. Housed in the new Jencks Education Center on the second floor of Slater Mill, this major initiative is unique in the country in that it will link a national historic landmark and the birthplace of textile manufacturing with Rhode Island’s growing community of talented, professional craftspeople and the public.
