![]() Recently I had the opportunity to attend an evening of entertainment at The Blood Drive Co-op. Providence's newest nuance offers am intimate setting for a night of music. The Blood Drive Co-op sits in a neighborhood were budget cut backs and city deficits have lead to a severe depletion in the available arts programs. The Co-op's mission is to construct a union of art and knowledge with it's community. A wide array of arts from finger painting with kids to an evening filled with punk music. Expect the unexpected in a cozy environment. The Co-op will play host to your idea or exhibit. Active participation by all is encouraged.

Upcoming events - May 3rd: Melissa Rourke: A Video Retrospective Videography and Still images by Melissa Rourke ![]() "Community Organization Founded in 1995. The Blood Drive Co-op's name is derived from an experience donating blood. When you donate blood you are giving a physical piece of yourself back to your surrounding community." says it's benefactor Jay Palmari -Pal I love to ride my bike. It evokes memories of an innocent childhood, when summer days were spent with neighborhood friends and our bikes... sometimes as transport to a local pool or baseball field, and other times just riding around, perhaps shoving a baseball card in the spokes as to imagine we were racing motorcycles up and down the side streets. Even today, once the cold weather starts to break into spring and summer, I bust my bike out of storage, grease the chain, and set out toward some of the many great bike paths and mountain biking trails that New England has to offer. Additionally I have, on occasion, used my bike as a method of transportation to work.
