Donations in Memory of Gretchen Dow Simpson

Gretchen Dow Simpson was passionate about both art and Rhode Island. Donations in loving memory of Gretchen will support WaterFire’s mission to bring free art experiences to the community, especially at the WaterFire Arts Center. In March 2024, we were honored to present her retrospective SPACES ACROSS TIME and to celebrate her remarkable contributions to Rhode Island’s cultural landscape.
