Historical Coventry: A Celebration in Art!

In celebration of "Rhode Island 250," the 250th anniversary of the signing of the nation's Declaration of Independence, Coventry is holding a town-wide student art contest for grades Kindergarten - 12th grade, culminating in an art reception extravaganza!

Winners will receive gift cards, trophies, and medals!  Art submissions will be displayed, and a panel of jurors will choose a first, second, and third prize winner for each category. 

RI250 is one event out of many local events that are part of the state celebration, including Coventry's Summer Fest & Parade and a multitude of historic-based programming at the Coventry Public Library, Paine House (WRICHS), and Nathanael Greene Homestead. More information can be found here.

A collaboration of the Coventry Historic Preservation Commission, Paine House (WRICHS), Coventry Public Library, Nathanael Greene Homestead, Parks & Recreation & the Town of Coventry. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Rhode Island Semiquincentennial Commission (RI250).
