On Wednesday, July 17, 2019, the FountainHead RI Community kicked off their first official panel event of the 2019 year. The panel event entitled: “Art, Culture and Entrepreneurship in the Ocean State and Beyond”  brought together the always growing and diverse FountainHead RI community with the RI art community for a night of incredible discussion, networking and an inside look into the art world right here in the Ocean State.  Thank you to everyone who came out to support the FountainHead RI Community – it was a big success!

A major shout out and thank you to our sponsors for this event: 

Howland Evangelista Kohlenberg LLP
CrossCountry Mortgage, Inc.

A big thank you to our amazing moderator and panelists who volunteered their time and shared valuable insights into not only the world of art but the overlap with the business community while touching upon hot topics such as the importance of culture in the workplace and talent attraction and retention issues seen not only here in RI but across the country.

Moderator: Micah Salkind
Panelists:  Peter Mello, Edwige Charlot, and Howie Sneider

Also, thank you to the Providence Art Club for being gracious hosts and providing us with an amazing venue space right in the heart of Providence filled with art from talented individuals, many located right here in RI. We could not do what we do without the continued help and support of the local communities and organizations and we remain very grateful for all that we have received.
