Cultural Activities

Students can participate in a wide variety of cultural activities and events at Rhode Island College. For example, students can attend a rock concert at the Recreation Center, an open mic performance at the Café, listen to a speaker at Adams Library, see a student play or concert in the Nazarian Center, find a dance partner in the Student Union Ballroom, attend an art gallery opening, write an article for the Anchor newspaper, make a t-shirt in the quad or watch Chinese acrobats tumble in the Auditorium in Roberts Hall. There are academic-based exhibition and performance opportunities and a whole host of student groups in which students participate in ways best suited to their interests, from audience members to directors. In addition, several on-campus groups bring nationally and internationally renowned fine and performing artists to RIC to enhance the cultural learning of our students and the community at large. Many of these cultural activities and events are free or discounted for students. Whatever your interest or passion, there is a way for you to participate.
