PPL offers free major exhibitions and community showcases throughout the year.
Exhibitions are viewable in our Joan T. Boghossian Gallery, Providence Journal Rhode Island Room, Updike Room, Marble Staircase Community Gallery, and other locations.
From the 1990s to the present, artist and type designer Cyrus Highsmith has been sketching out ideas that have made their way eventually into award-winning artwork and typefaces. This exhibition offers the rare opportunity to see those ideas develop from their first moments in the sketchbooks that Cyrus has carried with him daily.
