Support WaterFire
WaterFire has literally and figuratively illuminated Rhode Island for nearly three decades. Every season, around a million visitors flock to the state to experience this incredible public art installation. One small non-profit organization has transformed our city and state in incredible ways, but we cannot do it alone.
