State House Hangout

My State House is a participatory design project that invites Rhode Islanders to reimagine the Rhode Island State House and its abundant green space in ways that make it more welcoming and accessible to the community. Participants draw or write their Big Ideas on maps of the building and the grounds. These maps will be collected and used in the next phase of the project this fall, an open call for design proposals. We provide the maps, the markers, and the lawn games — you provide the ideas! This is a project for all ages and all abilities and is accessible to non-English speakers. Follow on Instagram to learn more about the project and its sponsors!

Find us on the south side of the State House, facing the Providence Place Mall.

Pack a picnic for a relaxed afternoon of community mapping and lawn games at the Rhode Island State House.
