Rose Weaver Always Innovating
Acclaimed actress Rose Weaver has officially launched her innovative directory of black artists in Rhode Island, the BlackArtists/RI Initiative.
The venture is designed to bring online visibility, accessibility, and financial opportunity to black performing artists in Rhode Island.
“Black performing artists have a lot to contribute to the Rhode Island economy, and it’s time that we plan, organize, influence, and impact our state at scale, said Weaver, President and CEO of Waterspill Junction, Inc.
Phase one of the initiative is an interactive online directory that lists over 140 local artists. The directory will expand in the months to come, to allow artists to add calendar events and sell tickets online.
