Providence Inner City Arts' Roots Cafe

The mission of the Roots Café is to provide a center for people to meet, converse, and interact while experiencing vibrant performances and art exhibitions of the highest quality. The Café will also provide a robust outreach program through the arts to the community at large. Of paramount importance is the role that the Café will play in bringing together the diverse people of Providence and Rhode Island and in encouraging and provoking thought, inspiring hope and creating broad community understanding.
