You can help save 140 lives!
From Cardboard to Vinyl banners:
a campaign to preserve
Cultural creations
IIRI's 140 piece art collection
Here is how YOU can make a difference.
Sponsor a Cultural Creations banner and YOU will be helping to preserve a piece of Rhode Island's art history for all to enjoy at special events, parades, festivals, and exhibits throughout our state.
Cultural Creations is IIRI’s larger than life, 140 piece Art Collection of brightly painted “images of celebration” spearheaded by Erminio Pinque and designed by IIRI students, staff, board, and artists from the International Gallery, and International Charter School.
Why do we need you to help preserve this 140 piece cardboard art collection by transferring them to durable vinyl banners?
Because cardboard has its limitations...
The Chinese Dragon has faded, the Brazilian Rock Star's guitar is bent, and the Indian Elephant has lost its trunk.
Join IIRI's closest friends and together we will:
Preserve the global spirits and memories of our state's newcomers.
Educate our community on cultural understanding.
Celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our state.
