Family-friendly events that bring communities together are more important than ever. From the local masters of traditional arts and crafts to the edgiest new innovators, JASRI’s Black Ships Festival has created a powerful platform for engaging with Japan’s creative expressions. The artwork and events are for people to connect, share stories, and collaborate with other makers and businesses inspiring others to share their passions with the local community.
The Japan-America Society and Black Ships Festival of Rhode Island, Inc. is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization that offers educational, cultural and business programs to strengthen the American-Japan relations and international goodwill to the general public through awareness projects and special events.
We encourage the participation of volunteers who support our
mission and are willing to contribute their time over the three days.
