Events Open to the Public
RIC offers numerous events throughout the year for the public to enjoy. Our well-known performing arts program brings music, theatre, and dance performances of the highest quality, and our Bannister Gallery features exhibitions by local, regional and international artists. We also hold conferences, programs, and of course admissions events, intended for the public. For athletics matches please view RIC Athletics' Calendar.
