PAWTUCKET –

The Empowerment Factory is a Rhode Island nonprofit who provides art-based social emotional learning community programs and events for elementary children and families. Since 2014, it has been dedicated to empowering children with the essential skills they need to lead happier, healthier lives.

Art in the Park is a series of free family community events every Wednesday evening from June 25 – August 27 located in Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Providence’s public parks. Each one-hour session includes a read-aloud illustrated story time, a guided discussion of social-emotional learning lessons, and a related arts and crafts project for your proud artist to take home.

Art in the Park connects families and communities, engaging children in reading, art, and collaborative discussions about a variety of social and emotional concepts, including positivity, kindness, perseverance, and diversity. Build your young artist’s self-confidence, emotional intelligence, empathy, and mindfulness.
