Title

WaterFire Beacon of Hope

Description

The WaterFire Beacon of Hope is a dynamic art installation where a single brazier illuminates the Main Hall of the WaterFire Arts Center representing a beacon of hope looking forward to the time when we can all gather together again in the heart of our capital. Once again we will experience WaterFire with our city filled with vibrant joy and discovery and our exhibitions and events again enlivening the WaterFire Arts Center.

The WaterFire Beacon of Hope is a LIVE 24/7 dynamic art installation created by the WaterFire Providence team under the artistic direction of founder, executive artistic director and coCEO, Barnaby Evans. Due to Stay at Home Orders, the WaterFire Beacon of Hope can currently only be experienced over the Internet at

The WaterFire Beacon of Hope presents a solitary illuminated WaterFire brazier in the Main Hall of the WaterFire Arts Center surrounded by a field of luminaria, each memorializing a Rhode Island soul lost to COVID-19. The installation, which also includes a field of stars overhead and WaterFire soundtrack, can be experienced 24 hours a day and cast to viewer’s TVs.
