A Few Things About ArtInRuins

What is ArtInRuins?

ArtInRuins (A.I.R.) started in 2002 to track the redevelopment and destruction of mill buildings in Providence. It expanded to include historic properties, new construction, homes, and other structures in northern RI. More about A.I.R. / All Topics & Tags

Wondering how to attribute our photos?

How can I support A.I.R.?

ArtInRuins is not a non-profit entity, but it does accept monetary donations to support the infrastructure (servers). A.I.R. volunteers keep the information current and add more. Your anecdotes help tell the stories behind these places and why they are so important. Have photos to contribute? Submit them.
