Bannister Statue, sculpted by local artist Gage Prentiss. Stop by the bronze statue of Edward Mitchell Bannister, a pioneering Black painter and key figure in Providence’s art history. Learn how his legacy lives on through this powerful public tribute. “Sitting on a bench at Market Square, looking out at the Providence River, sketching in his sketchbook, I will capture a moment Edward Bannister repeated countless times in his life. The sculpture and plaque will create an encounter with him where people can sit and pose for pictures, whet their curiosity about his art, and enjoy the wonder and whimsy of imagining who this person was from the past. I want to help elevate him in Providence and beyond.”
