Tomaquag Museum promotes Native arts and culture through an environmental collaboration with RI Artist Holly Ewald,the Urban Pond Procession(UPP), and the Narragansett Tribal community. In this year-long project we had weekly workshops exploring the historical, cultural, and environmental impacts surrounding Mashapaug Pond where participants used art(photography, collage, painting, and poetry) to express their knowledge.This project provided economic benefits to each entity through many means such as overt income from revenues, grant funding,and less tangible items such as shared marketing, PR, and in-kind resources. It also provided opportunity for revenue generation through final products such as exhibits, art, and a book, Through Our Eyes, An Indigenous View of Mashapaug Pond.
