Come mingle with like-minded artists and nature lovers! We welcome our guests to bring a sketch pad, watercolors, and washable paints and to take photographs at the Botanical Center. Painters must use only nontoxic, unscented paints. 

Amateur photographers are welcome to come every Friday for Amateur Paint and Photography day with regular paid admission. 

Professional photographers* are required by the City of Providence to acquire a Botanical Center Photography Permit.   Please show the permit when entering the ticket gate.

Please note that special photography equipment is not allowed without a permit. Visit https://www.providenceri.gov/botanical/photography-policy/ for more details.
