Enjoy the Performing Arts
RIC has long been known for its high-quality performing arts programs. Our dance company, many music ensembles, and four major theatre performances a year mean that there's always an event you should attend!
Dance Performances
The RIC Dance Company is an innovative and widely recognized modern dance ensemble. For many years, the company’s hallmark has been its involvement with local, regional and national dance communities.
Music Performances
The quality of music education at RIC is second to none. For our students, the study of music takes place on stage as well as in the classroom. Enjoy our numerous ensembles: a chamber singer group, chorus, jazz band, symphony orchestra, wind ensemble, women's chorus, and many additional smaller performing arrangements.
Theatre Performances
Each year many of our theatre students work alongside actors, directors, and managers from companies such as the Trinity Repertory Company and Looking Glass Theatre. Rhode Island College stages four major productions annually, giving you an excellent chance to see the performance and technical talents of our students.

Host Your Own Event on Campus
If you're looking to host an event, the RIC campus offers many ideal spaces that are wonderful for gatherings of various sizes and with differing needs and specifications. Let us help you select an appropriate campus facility and assist with planning, promoting and catering your event.
Cheer for Our Sports Teams!
Attend an Upcoming Game!
RIC Athletics celebrated a successful 2025, with conference titles in Men’s Tennis and Women’s Basketball, standout individual champions in Women’s Cross Country and Women’s Indoor Track & Field, and a top-five national finish for Women’s Gymnastics. Come out and show your support! Go Anchors!
Deepen Your Sense of Discovery
Visit the James P. Adam's Library
In addition to serving RIC's students, faculty, and staff, the James P. Adams Library is open to the public and regularly serves researchers around the world. We are located right on RIC's main quad.
Walk Our Campus – an Actual Arboretum
The trees growing on our 180-acres are a splendid resource - so much so that the campus was recently recognized as an accredited arboretum. Take a walk amongst the 1100+ individual trees (over 80 different species and varieties) and enjoy.
Book a Bee Hive, Greenhouse, and Garden Field Trip
Buzz, our resident Bee expert, leads tours of our Bee Education Center, RIC Greenhouse and Community Garden. We invite individuals or groups to join us for an enriching, hands-on tour of the college’s green initiatives.
