“Woonsocket Now and Again”
The Woonsocket based Riverzedge Arts Project has collaborated closely with the Museum of Work & Culture to develop this exhibit which compares and contrasts the city of Woonsocket “then and now.” The exhibit will feature paintings and digital photographs by Riverzedge students based on their research of the city’s history. The pieces will represent their interpretation of the city’s changes and raise questions about the direction the city is heading.
