She Never Came

“She Never Came” distills a story of unrequited love into a single moment. Its photo-like quality evokes BEZT’s admiration for Norman Rockwell, while the surrealism of the rat pays homage to the street art tradition of Basquiat. This calm, quiet moment is a stark juxtaposition to the busy streetscape around it, inviting passersby to pause and reflect on its beauty.

BEZT was born in 1987 in Turek, Poland and is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. BEZT currently lives and works in Poland, but has painted murals around the world and has been part of numerous exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe.
Creator and half of the Etam cru.

Join us in preserving and enhancing the Downtown Providence Park Network (DPPN)

Thousands of you joined us in downtown Providence this weekend as we honored Día de los Muertos in partnership with @rilatinoarts, @waterfirepvd, and local artists.

At the Downtown Providence Park Network, our hope was for you to learn and experience the scared Mexican tradition. The bright marigolds, or cempasúchil, guided the spirits home with their color and fragrance. Candles lit their way with warmth and light. Pan de Muerto represented the circle of life and the love that endures. We shared more than 500 pieces baked by the family at @la.artesa.bakery with hot chocolate as families, friends, and visitors gathered to honor their loved ones. The ofrenda held photos, water, and cherished mementos, creating a bridge between the living and the departed. Traditional Mexican dance @grupomisolha filled the evening with music.

Thank you for adding the name of your loved ones to the ofrenda by @alhteran. In Providence, everyone belongs.

Downtown Providence was filled with light, color, and remembrance as we celebrated Día de los Muertos, one of Mexico’s most beautiful traditions.

Surrounded by marigolds, candles, music, and dancing, we honored life, love, and memory together. The scent of pan de muerto and the warmth of hot chocolate carried the spirit of Mexico through our city. @la.artesa.bakery

It was an honor for us to organize and host this moving celebration and to share this evening of magic and community with all who visited downtown at @waterfireprov

This is Providence — a city that celebrates every culture and every story. Here, everyone belongs. 🌼

If you missed tonight, join @rilatinoarts and @waterfirepvd tomorrow at the Southside Cultural Center at 4:30 for another beautiful celebration of Día de los Muertos. Thank you @alhteran
