A little over two weeks ago, my parents came to visit me in Providence and fortunately, I was able to take them to the RISD Fall Alumni and Student Art Sale on Benefit Street. Open and free to the public, this creative paradise provided my parents and I the opportunity to stroll historic Benefit Street and view works from both emerging and established artists. We eventually made our way through table after table of handmade goods created by more than 175 RISD students and alumni from around the world! The sale featured a plethora of jewelry, scarves, clothing, one-of-a-kind handbags, ceramic bowls and cups, kids' toys and books, blown-glass pieces, paintings and drawings, photography, sculptures and more (including free Jazz and lots of people-watching)!
Overall, it was a big haze of people and stuff, but one particular artist that caught my attention and held it, was Jeannie Shin. Her jewlery is so well crafted and sculptural in its form, I was, and still am, drawn to the color, texture and shape of her pieces. Unfortunately Ms. Shin does not have a website, but she will be selling her work at the next Alumni Holiday Art Sale, December 12th from 10am-5pm, at the Rhode Island Convention Center. So be sure to check out the RISD website to learn more and take a peak at the photo gallery on Flickr. Absorb and enjoy!
