Your support is key to opening doors in Rhode Island.

Doors Open Rhode Island is inspired by the belief that welcoming the public inside the gems at the heart of our communities strengthens the connections between people and the places around them.

In this sense, we aim to transform our residents into advocates for our built environment and ambassadors for Rhode Island.
