Opening soon inside a beautifully restored historic building on Broadway, The Alcove is a community space and social club for women. Its gracious living rooms, sunlit terrace, and curated library create a welcoming haven for connection, creativity, and conversation. A membership is the gift of belonging, a place to gather and grow.

Rhode Island’s first feminist cultural center, The Alcove, will open at 189 Broadway on Jan. 10. The two-story space aims to provide women and gender-expansive people a place to gather, reconnect and build community in a safe environment.

History shines brighter when everyone’s story is told, and thanks to Alcove RI, Rhode Island now has a place dedicated to making that possible. Opening Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 189 Broadway, Alcove RI will debut as the state’s first feminist cultural center, creating a haven for women and gender expansive people to connect, recharge, and celebrate. The newly renovated space is designed with purpose. The first floor welcomes the public, while the second floor, called the Haven, is reserved for members seeking community and respite. Membership perks pair with public programs, all supported by an accessible pricing model that includes need-based scholarships.

A new community space on the West End plans to repair connections through stories and art.
