For photography students on the make, the biggest allure of Providence is the institutions of higher learning.

Rhode Island College offers concentrations in photography, media studies, graphic design, and printmaking to broaden your portfolio. Brown University's visual art program is based mostly in the studio for training in photography and digital imaging, but students are also encouraged to think about the emotions and beliefs that go into the work.

Why Providence is a Great Place to Study Photography

For being a small city in Rhode Island, Providence sure is hip when it comes to art, culture, and the pursuit of creativity. A large part of it has to do with the top-notch reputation the town has, earned in part by the fact that it is home to such highly reputed educational institutions as Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design, to name just a few. It also helps that it is located near media mini-Meccas along the coast such as the town of Newport.
