Ink & Echo: The Creative Current x Valley Vibes
Event Details
A Community Event Series on the Roof Deck at the WaterFire Arts Center, Thursdays from July 2 to August 27, 2026
WaterFire Providence is excited to bring back Valley Vibes: Thursdays on Tap for summer 2026. Running from July 2 through August 27, this collaborative series unites diverse communities by partnering with local event organizers to host free gatherings on the roof deck of the WaterFire Arts Center. Before heading up to the rooftop, guests can take in world-class art in the Main Hall, where the large-scale exhibition America Unfinished?! is on view.
Every Thursday from 6 to 9 PM, Valley Vibes: Thursdays on Tap turns the WaterFire Arts Center roof deck into a lively community hub. Local organizations will host a rotating mix of free events, ranging from networking socials to casual mixers. Hi Bar Lo Bar is back on the roof deck this summer, pouring handcrafted cocktails week after week. Valley Vibes offers a relaxed, creative setting to decompress after work — grab a drink, wander through the current exhibition, soak in the rooftop atmosphere, and connect with new people and communities along the way.
Opening Night + Live Mural Painting by Ramiro Davaro-Comas
Complimentary wine and nonalcoholic beverages will be provided, and a cash bar for specialty cocktails will be available too. The reception will occur alongside a special program of poetry, music, and performance pieces organized by Ink & Echo and Symposium Books on our roof deck. Artist Ramiro Davaro-Comas will be activating the exhibition space through live mural painting during the opening reception.
