Individual Supporters

The Brazier Society of WaterFire Providence

Beginning in 1994, WaterFire has ignited a renaissance for our city which, through the years, has sparked millions of visitor’s imaginations. We invite you to celebrate WaterFire’s mission to build a community through art by joining The Brazier Society!

You’re invited to be a part of the magic!

As Brazier Society members, you gain access to benefits and special opportunities including access to the exclusive Brazier Society reception tent during the season, member-only events at the WaterFire Arts Center, WaterFire discounts, and more. An evening at WaterFire as a Brazier Society member includes a reception catered by Fire Works Catering, special performances, and the rare and unforgettable chance to experience WaterFire from the water onboard one of our custom-built guest boats that will pilot you among the fires.

Brazier Society members are among our most generous supporters and are at the heart of all we do. Our members are especially crucial to WaterFire and all of our programming. Your generous contributions make all the difference.
