Day 1: Art show opening. bands. food. RHD-RI (Resources for Human Development-Rhode Island) is a nonprofit human services agency located in Pawtucket. While RHD provides job development and family support services, it is perhaps best known for its exciting and eclectic arts-based day program. RHD artists write and record songs and develop corresponding videos- including a talk show. They paint on paper, canvas and wood, including the refurbishing old furniture. The artists at RHD also create and publish chapbooks, 'zines and comics, work in theater, photography, fiber and pottery and generally whip up a daily frenzy of art making. It is with great pleasure that the artists and staff of RHD announce this forthcoming exhibition at the Firehouse no. 13, a forward thinking urban art space dedicated to innovation and creative community involvement. “RHD In Your Face” will feature a wide-ranging collection of visual art that defies immediate categorization and covers the walls of Firehouse no. 13. In addition, RHD will present four evenings of hosted, live entertainment the likes of which will amaze, amuse, and confound...those will include an awesome eve of RHD video presentations and three spellbinding nights of music (and interpretive dance and puppetry) by celebrated local and international artists: Nathan Harrop, the Bohemian Quartet, Xerxes, Tastic, Barnacled, Los Monos Locos, Von Doom, Hope Anchor, the Blizzard of ‘78 and Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores, plus one-of-a-kind performances by RHD house bands Mrs. Six Eyes, TomorrowCats, Undercover, Cayce & Shayne and On Fire! Miss these events at your own peril!

A psychedelic horror movie made by people from Providence for $850. It's about hippies, slackers and grunge. We set up our own screenings and embarked on a national tour of underground and alternative venues. We have shown the movie about thirty-five times in different cities around the country to crowds ranging from two to one hundred people. We are making our own copies of the movie using recycled cases. This is one of our last screenings before we begin our next film, CAPTAIN BLOOD OF THE SPACE COSMIC.
