Mission and History
Since opening in 2018, LitArts RI has become a centralized hub for the Rhode Island literary community, serving 500+ creatives.
In 2023, as we celebrated the launch of a new literary arts center in the Valley neighborhood of Providence, on the ancestral homelands of the Narragansett Nation, What Cheer Writers Club became LitArts RI to better represent the organization we have become and the community we serve.
