On November 19, members of Rhode Island’s songwriting community will play new, previously unperformed music at the Black Box Theater in Cranston.

A Guerrilla Style Street Band, Giant Cartoon Airplane and Art History Revisited Through Carnival Games

We hope to see you there, CCAP is no longer a member of the RI Food Bank and solely relies on donations. There was an article in last week’s Herald about their struggles to meet the growing need the agency faces. http://www.cranstononline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7614&Itemid=0

If you have any questions about Sunday’s food drive, please contact us at: contact@savecranstonopenspace.com or leave a message at 633-6312.
