RISD Arts Innovation Research (AIR) Showcase

Rhode Island School of Design presents its inaugural showcase of Arts Innovation Research in collaboration with Venture Cafe Providence. This interactive event exhibits the exciting ways that artists and designers investigate and innovate through interdisciplinary methods that combine art and design practices with science, emerging technology, industrial, health, Indigenous, and human-centered methodologies to address regional and global concerns.

This showcase will feature activations, installations, prototypes, video & digital media, flash talks, and panels allowing guests to experience the full dimension of research conducted by RISD faculty and students, including awardees of its SPUR Fund and Somerson Sustainability Innovation Fund (SSIF) grants issued by the Research office.

AIR opens the way for Rhode Island’s creative and innovation communities of artists, designers, entrepreneurs, researchers, sponsors, leaders and the public to converge, network, and explore!
