And sometimes I spin fire on a two-foot-wide wall with a 7-foot drop into the water all around me. I`ve slowly worked up the courage to do different more "high-risk" props on here, but, of course, my favorite is always still poi 🙂 #waterfireprovidence #poi #ladiesoftechpoi #firepoi #fireperformer #firedancer #flowarts #circus #providenceri

History

The “Washington Buildings” once occupied the spot where the Hospital Trust Building is now, so we’re looking at what is today the northwest corner of Westminster and Memorial Blvd. Above the building, you can see the tower tops for the original Union Station, so we know this photo was taken before 1896, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

We are thrilled to welcome Cristin Searles to LUMINA 2025!

Cristin is a talented sculpture and installation artist known for her delicate, large-scale fabric creations inspired by botanical imagery and patterns in nature. Her illuminated sculptures, originally created for her home and later commissioned for Hope Street, have brought joy and laughter to our community for years.

We can’t wait to see the five cheerful new sculptures she’s creating for LUMINA!
