Creative Fellowship update

Today’s blog post is an update from our 2020 Creative Fellow, Kelly Eriksen, who’s been making a deep dive into our Special Collections and planning out a sound installation for the spring.

“Last week I got to go on a really exciting hard hat tour of the Providence Public Library renovations.”

“The tour was a great opportunity to move through the old/new space and to gain an understanding of how the public will eventually use it.”

“Starting to get clearer and clearer ideas for installation. More details to come!”

“Big thanks to Aaron Peterman for giving a great tour and answering all of my (so many) questions!”

Thanks, Kelly! Stay tuned to see what she’s up to in the new year!

Announcing our 2020 Creative Fellow

We’re delighted to announce PPL’s new Creative Fellow: Kelly Eriksen, a Providence-based multimedia artist with a background in glass and an interest in “how the things that we interact with every day can be viewed as materials with which we can work and play.”

Over the coming 8 months, Kelly will do research in our Special Collections and design a sound installation related to the topic of journalism as part of our 2020 exhibition and program series.

We love that Kelly’s work is both conceptual and interactive, and we’re so excited to see what she creates!
