Celebrating 50 Years of Art in Rhode Island....

Artist-photographer-Musician and Educator, Prof. Angelo Marinosci, Jr will have two requested works included in an upcoming and prestigious exhibition, organized by the Rhode Island Historical Society and Inner City Arts...the exhibition will display the works of other well knows, such as Gene Tonoff, Antonio Dattorro, Lawrence Sykes, Stephan Brigidi, Salvatore Mancini...to name a small handful of the 80 artists in all that will exhibit.

The exhibition will open at the U.R.I. Feintein Providence Campus at 80 Washington Street, Providence, RI 02903: 7 November - 6 January with an opening reception 17 November 5-9PM....the purpose of creating a lasting legacy of Rhode Island art from 1950-2000 through educational programming, exhibitions and documentation... "The mission of '50 Years of Art in rhode Island: 1950-2000' is to honorRhode Island artists who lived and worked in the community during the second half of the 20th century"

I am quite pleased and honored to be included in this show and happy with the company therein. The works selected was done through a process of invitation and review and came from a much larger list of prospective participants. One of the works was executed in 1987 and another in 1999.... they represent those periods of time in my own evolution and , perhaps , have little or nothing to do with my work in progress or exhibitions done since they were completed.

A Johnston native, Marinosci is a resident of Warren, where he lives and creates .... he has taught at several area colleges, has performed and exhibited for more than 5 decades... and has traveled and been widely published. Marinosci's first New York exhibition was at 80 Washington Sq in Greenwich Village... 40 years ago.

For additional information, please contact the folks at the Rhode Island Historical Society, the U.R.I. Feintsein Campus Gallery or the Providence Inner City Arts.... and of course, we hope to see many of you there at the exhibit.
