Helping Hands

How do our hands help those around us and our community?

Helping Hands is a community art project based out of North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Community members of all ages, all ethnicities, and all religions, are invited to participate!

You are welcome to submit an art flag on your own or submit multiple artworks on behalf of a group. These might be made by a class, religious school, scout troop, etc. Work should be 5”x7” (vertical is preferred). Each art flag will be placed in a plastic sleeve to protect and display it.

Please attach a permission slip on the back of each art flag or include a letter from the director or owner on behalf of the group granting permission and label the name and age of each artist on the back of the art flags.

Upcoming exhibitions:

Thank you to the many, many people who joined us at We Are ALL Readers diverse children’s literature festival at North Kingstown High School! Our display was a big hit and it was a joy to have so many enthusiastic new art flag artists take part.

Later this spring - We anticipate an outdoor display somewhere in North Kingstown and displays in local businesses and community venues.

More displays to come! We hope for this to be a continuously evolving project and display that lifts and connects our community.

The launch of this project is being coordinated by Harbor Creative Arts in collaboration with and in support of Towards an Anti-Racist North Kingstown, a 501c3 non-profit organization working to make North Kingstown a community that values every resident, and treats all with decency, honor and kindness.
