Driscoll's students reimagining Kennedy Plaza

Ellen Driscoll’s (Professor, Sculpture) Spring 2012 course “Spokes of the Wheel: Public Art in Kennedy Plaza” which is devoted to the revitalization of the heart of Providence, was recently written up in the Providence Phoenix.  Driscoll’s students  presented their initial ideas to city officials at the Office of Art, Culture + Tourism this past week.  The students hail from various departments on campus and the projects proposed reflect that disciplinary diversity.
