THE VENUE

Moniker Brewery
432 W Fountain St, Providence, RI 02903

Moniker Brewery believes in a simple goal – to brew the best beer possible and share it with the local Providence community.

In an industry where the only constant seems to be change, beer styles and fads will come and go, but we here at Moniker aim to build something that is long-lasting.  A vision of urban roots planted around a strong community; friends, new and old, enjoying a quality product, in a relaxed setting. Our hope is that every beer at The Moniker Brewery is not just consumed but truly enjoyed, because at the end of the day, a great beer is only as good as the company with which you share it.

Rye Dean
LUMUKU

Ryan Dean started LUMUKU as a way to make the world a brighter place. The LUMUKU characters he creates start as line drawings of simple objects or natural phenomena and are then reimagined in colorful, unexpected situations. Rye has a lot of fun creating these cute illustrations. So in order to share that joy, LUMUKU characters have begun venturing out into the world and can be found everywhere from public art in parks and illustrated language learning card games, to fine art prints in galleries… and now on beer cans! We hope that you enjoy these LUMUKU friends as much as we do!

CREATIVE CONVERSATIONS is a speaker series designed to bring together designers, creatives, and design enthusiasts to exchange ideas and get inspired. The series provides a platform for industry experts and up and coming creatives in their field to share their insights, experiences, and best practices with the broader creative community. This bi-monthly gathering is for designers, creatives, innovators and enthusiasts in Rhode Island.

Formerly known as “Clambake”, DESIGNxRI has been facilitating conversations with Rhode Island creatives since 2018.
