19 On Paper and The HiveRI Bring Art to the Workplace

The Hive RI, a provider of community-oriented co-working space, and 19 On Paper, a group of acclaimed Southern New England artists, have partnered to bring art to the workplace at Hive RI’s shared spaces at North Kingstown’s historic Lafayette Mill. With an opening reception on Friday, March 15th, 5 – 7 PM, the varied works of thirteen of 19 On Paper artists are on display now thru May 6th.

19 On Paper member and spokesperson Cindy Wilson noted, “The Hive RI and 19 On Paper have a shared interest in promoting art in the workplace. We hope our art will enhance the sense of community that Hive RI values in its approach to co-working. As I have experienced myself, their shared spaces are comfortable and inviting places to work in.”

The participating artists include Grace Bentley-Scheck, Jill Brody, Sally Caswell, Alma Davenport, David DeMelim, Kendra Ferreira, Ann-Marie Gillett, BL Green, Paul Murray, Allie Sabalis, Hiroko Shikashio, Felicia Touhey, and Cindy Wilson.

The Hive RI is a non-traditional coworking space which strives to be a place of action where people come together – much like a bee hive – to enhance themselves culturally, professionally, and personally. It offers a positive and professional atmosphere with quiet workspaces as well as opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded folks.
