Register today for RISD Weekend! Our annual October event features a variety of engaging programs for the RISD community to connect with students, faculty and staff and celebrate everything that makes RISD unique.
Given the continued concerns surrounding COVID, travel implications and the re-opening of campus, RISD Weekend 2021 will welcome alumni and families to participate in virtual programming throughout the month of October and to attend a limited schedule of on-campus events on October 9, 2021.
Annual traditions will return including RISD Craft and the Fleet Library Books + Prints Sale. New virtual events include Alumni Shorts | Surviving Extinction—Future Food, a discussion hosted by Ciril Hitz 91 ID with guest panelists, Monica Martinez MFA 09 SC, Don Bugito, Arley Marks 10 SC and Al Read 91 ID.
