Each Saturday from May 9 through October 3, The North Scituate Farmer’s Market will  feature a Rhode Island author at its market on the Scituate Art Festival grounds at 46 Institute Lane across from the North Scituate Public Library.

The market supports local farmers & businesses who offer a wide variety of quality, locally grown seasonal fruits & vegetables, local meats and hand crafted goods. Come and spend each Saturday listening to live music while supporting your local arts groups  — and even enjoy lunch from local food trucks. The market is open every Saturday 9-12, rain or shine. See you at the market!

Join the Association of Rhode Island authors at Cranston’s The Elephant Room for “The Lively Literati” on Thursday, April 30th at 6:30 p.m. This month, Rhode Island novelists Cris Pfeil (The Right Blood) and Judith Boss (Deception Island) will be reading excerpts from their work. Following the readings, the audience is invited to utilize our “open mic” to share a portion of their own short, creative works. The event will be hosted by poetry editor Deborah Halliday (The Poetry of Godey’s Ladies Book.) Admission is free.
