WaterFire Accelerate is a year-long professional development program for emerging artists under 30 that is specifically designed to provide access to resources that will further participants’ artistic careers. WaterFire Accelerate engages young artists in areas outside the traditional art school experience through a series of meetings, workshops, site visits, and discussions. Professionals in the field share their experiences and learnings in open discussions where topics involving best practices, self-representation, marketing, finance and taxes, and technology surrounding art are explored. Each cohort represents the Providence community and is diverse in both the makeup of participants and their chosen mediums.

🚨NEW PRODUCT ALERT🚨
We are so thrilled to announce our newest collab WaterFire x Aster (@astercandle) 🔥🕯️ Experience the aroma of WaterFire at home with our newest line of candles poured by Aster Candle.
✨Fireside is inspired by the WaterFire ritual, a community event where people come together around the fire, evoking nostalgia for moments spent toasting marshmallows with friends and family.
✨Flicker + Flame is inspired by the aromas of the street during a WaterFire lighting—blending food, fire, and the entire experience of soaking it all in.
Both scents come in either a small (4 oz) or a large (8.5 oz) size. Come check out this new line in either our brick + mortar store or shop online at store.waterfire.org and get it shipped directly to you! Last day to place an order to guarantee it in time for Christmas is Wednesday, 12/18.
