GIVING CAMPAIGN

Please consider making a contribution to help us meet our funding goal!

Southside Cultural Center of Rhode Island connects, cultivates and engages community through the arts. We envision a vibrant, connected community engaged in discovering, exploring, and creating art, that nurtures the voices of artists of color and cultivates leaders who lift up our people.  

At SCCRI we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, background, or interest, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and most importantly, express themselves through different mediums of art.

Today, we are home to the following partner tenant arts organizations - Jordan Wellness and Adventures Center, Rhode Island Black Storytellers and Rhode Island Latino Arts, who manages the Galería de PVD at SCCRI. Collectively these organizations provide classes in dance, music, storytelling, visual art exhibitions, and live performance events. In addition, several of these organizations also provide social advocacy, cultivate cultural preservation, and support individual artists.

Our historic facility is also available for rent. SCCRI currently houses a 350-seat theater, a community space that can seat up to 150 people, a kitchen, and multiple rooms that may serve as classrooms, rehearsal spaces, studios, and offices. These spaces are all available for rent. *Please note that some of the spaces are not yet handicap accessible. Please email info@sccri.com for more information.
