The UNITED is a non-profit regional center for arts and arts education showcasing world-class performing, visual and creative work. The UNITED has been reincarnated from a 1926 vaudeville theatre into a $17 million, state-of-the-art facility consisting of three movie cinemas, one large black box balconied venue with a 500-person capacity, an art gallery/reception space, and a music school with seven acoustically-isolated music classrooms that is run in conjunction with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra and Music School. With a mission to “unite the community through the arts,” the UNITED draws from an expansive audience of various ages who unite through their love of the arts and arts education in its many forms, including film, live music, theatre, opera, dance, visual arts, lectures and more.
