Information

If you walk around the basin across from the stage area you will see The Wall of Hope, which is comprised of 11,000+ ceramic tiles made by people in the community after 9/11. The wall is one of three locations with these tiles, you can also find them on the Providence Journal Building and inside the Rhode Island Convention Center. I am not sure if these tiles remain here currently, I know they were trying to move them indoors to some sort of gallery but are still working on the design and execution of the move. I know they did start to remove some tiles in 2018 but I couldn’t find information on if they finished the removal or not. This is the inscription that was on display at the water place park location:
"This mosaic was created by more than 10,000 Rhode Island Residents of all ages, races, religion, and cultures. The magnificent artwork you see here is a tribute to loved ones lost, to the heroes of the 9-11-01 tragedy and to our hope for the future.”
