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!
This project was launched in January 2023. It was designed to be a continuously evolving project and display that lifts and connects our community. We are so excited to have such a vast & growing collection of art flags!

Recent exhibitions:
Thank you to the many, many people who joined us at Celebrating the Dream on Martin Luther King Day in South Kingstown and in April at We Are ALL Readers diverse children’s literature festival at North Kingstown High School! Our displays & making tables were a BIG hit and it was a joy to have so many enthusiastic new art flag artists take part.
More displays to come!
Interested in making/submitting art flags?
You or your group 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.
Note: 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.
