The first privately administered public art program, The Avenue Concept, has installed over 150 pieces of public art throughout Rhode Island, and was one of the driving forces behind a local artist’s goal of displaying his sculptures in Kennedy Plaza, 20 plus years in the making.

Peruvian born, RI-based sculptor Peruko Ccopacatty was given the key to the city, and a promise to install his metal made sculptures in Providence in1995, yet it wasn’t until February 4th, 2018, dubbed “Ccopacatty Day” that the dream was finally realized.

John Taraborelli, a representative from The Avenue Concept, says it’s the organization’s goal to work with local government to help facilitate public art installations like Ccopacatty’s throughout Providence, and other areas of RI.
