The Steel Yard offers arts and technical training programs designed to increase opportunities for cultural and artistic expression, career-oriented training, and small business incubation. Our work is made possible through a combination of program-related earned income, private and government grants, corporate giving and individual philanthropy.
We are located at the historic Providence Steel and Iron site, along the Woonasquatucket River in the heart of Providence's industrial Valley neighborhood. Our 10,000 square foot industrial shop includes:
Welding, blacksmithing, jewelry, ceramics, and foundry space
Ceramics Residency
Foundry Residency
Studio Access Opportunities
Outdoor multi-use work and exhibition space
The Steel Yard's programs cater to working artists, students, community members, tradespeople, arts educators and entrepreneurs.
