Join Brown Arts Institute for an academic year kick-off at our BAI Welcome Carnival. The afternoon will feature fairground favorites (think: cotton candy and plenty of fried foods), signature sodas from our friends at Rhody Pop, a bounce house in the Main Hall, games, art contests, and team members ready to answer your questions on all things BAI. We’re transforming The Lindemann into a miniature midway where you can snack, play, create, and learn more about the arts at Brown!
