In winter 2026, ACT announced the selection of its first cohort of Providence-based writers to attend the prestigious Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. This initiative aims to support emerging writers by providing them with a unique residency opportunity to focus on their craft in a vibrant artistic community. The program highlights ACT’s commitment to nurturing local talent and fostering artistic growth. Selected writers will spend time at the Fine Arts Work Center, gaining access to resources, mentorship, and a collaborative environment designed to enhance their creative development. This inaugural cohort marks a significant step in ACT’s efforts to connect Providence’s literary community with broader artistic networks and opportunities. The residency is expected to help the writers advance their projects and careers while contributing to the cultural landscape of both Providence and Provincetown. This collaboration underscores the importance of investing in the arts and supporting writers at critical stages of their professional journeys.
