They’re all so different…and weird!  The fungus among us are more than meets the eye, with some acting as decomposers, some working with tree roots, and some parasitic, even of other fungus!  Learn about their jobs and how they’re used in industry and medicine, then go exploring the park with our scavenger hunt to see what you find!  Please no harvesting, but have your camera ready and we’ll answer any questions we can!  Kids can make clay mushrooms to take home.

Join us for our next free family event, Mysterious Mushrooms, on Saturday, October 10 at 10 am, at the trail by Patterson Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Providence, RI 02906.

Registration and masks required.

Part of our monthly “Art & Science in the Park” series with 15 Minute Field Trips. "Art & Science at the Park" is a continuation of the "Art in the Park" series, with more focus on community action to protect wildlife and biodiversity and combat climate change.  Learn about local flora and fauna through art and science activities.  Great for families or to use in the classroom.  Stay longer to enjoy the park, pick up litter, or use your new knowledge to educate others.

Check the 15 Minute Field Trips Facebook page for weather updates. 

This event is led by Melissa Guillet, from 15 Minute Field Trips. Melissa has taught art for over 20 years and is an avid nature-lover involved in gardening, hiking, and collecting data as a citizen scientist.

 “I am thrilled to be partnering with these great groups to showcase our merchants and terrific dining options that are available in Wayland Square,” stated Councilman John Goncalves. “Our local businesses have been hit hard by the global pandemic, and I think this is a great way for us to show our local merchants and restaurants our support. The holiday season is not far off, and this is a great time to shop local and be local. I look forward to seeing our neighbors visit Wayland Square this holiday weekend. Finally, I want to particularly thank Victoria Boulis of the Wayland Square Merchants Association for her work in helping to spearhead this wonderful event.”

 Autumn Air in The Square is a three-day indoor and outdoor event meant to encourage residents from across Providence and the region, to visit the shops and restaurants and COVID-friendly activities in Wayland Square, and enjoy the beautiful New England fall weather.

 “We are so excited to have the support of the City Council, WSNA, and our fellow merchants in the Square for this event. Wayland Square is almost at full capacity and this weekend will serve as a great opportunity to meet some of the new merchants as well as pop into some of your favorite existing merchants,” stated Katy Berard and Victoria Boulis of the Wayland Square Merchants Association.

 Katherine Touafek, President of the Wayland Square Neighborhood Association stated, “An event like Autumn Air in the Square is exactly what our neighbors have been asking for, and I truly believe that by shining a light on all the great shops and restaurants in our neighborhood will not only benefit the Wayland Square community but the City as well. I look forward to seeing my neighbors and others from across the City enjoying all that Wayland Square has to offer.”

 Councilman Goncalves, the Wayland Square Merchants Association, and the Wayland Square Neighborhood Association hope that Autumn Air in the Square will become a signature event for the neighborhood.

OCTOBER 9-15, 2020 
ON THE ROCKS 
DAILY AT 3:40 & 6:20 

|   

  |   ON THE ROCKS 

Laura (Rashida Jones) thinks she’s happily hitched, but when her husband Dean (Marlon Wayans) starts logging late hours at the office with a new co-worker, Laura begins to fear the worst. She turns to the one man she suspects may have insight: her charming, impulsive father Felix (Bill Murray), who insists they investigate the situation. As the two begin prowling New York at night, careening from uptown parties to downtown hotspots, they discover at the heart of their journey lies their own relationship. Acclaimed filmmaker Sofia Coppola brings a light touch to this blend of an exuberant love letter to New York, a generation-clash comedy about how we see relationships differently from our parents, and a funny celebration of the complications that bind modern families even as they tie us in crazy knots. 

Directed by Sophia Coppola 
Rated R 
Running time 96 minutes

  |   EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: FRIDA KAHLO 

Who was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her, but who was the woman behind the bright colours, the big brows, and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true icon, discover her art, and uncover the truth behind her often turbulent life. 

Making use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art. Exhibition on Screen’s trademark combination of interviews, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art delivers a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy. This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works, and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience, and her unmatched lust for life, politics, men and women. 

Delving deeper than any film has done before, engaging with world-renowned Kahlo experts, exploring how great an artist she was, discover the real Frida Kahlo. 

Directed by Ali Ray 
Running time 90 minutes
