2025 Call for Curators, Programming, and Art

The I-195 Redevelopment District is seeking proposals from curators, event organizers, and those interested in community programming in 195 District Park. The park is a seven-acre urban park located along the Providence River, and it has been heavily programmed with over 300 unique events held in 2024. The District is looking for events that prioritize accessibility and are free and open to the public. Proposals may be partially funded or scaled down based on the number of overall proposals received, available funds, and scheduling considerations. • The park has GFCI electrical outlets, furniture, and seating available for use. • Storage is very limited, and supplies can be requested. • Restrooms are available, with permanent restrooms located within the Park pavilion. • Water faucets are available for non-potable water. • The District requires at least 30 days following the issuance of an event permit to process grant payment. • Outdoor events are dynamic and potentially impacted by weather, and inclement weather plans should be included in the proposal. • The District reserves the right to request changes to aspects of the proposal. • Proposals will only be approved for events that take place within 195 District Park.
