Established in 2001, RISD Works includes clothing, kitchen and home items, children’s toys and other smaller items, as well as original art. The new location will expand the hours beyond the museum operating hours and will feature new display cases designed to make the collection more accessible to shoppers.

The cases were designed by Nick Hollibaugh, who received a master’s degree in fine arts from RISD in 2003.
