DIRECTIONS 

The Vets is located at 1 Avenue of the Arts in Providence, RI adjacent to the Renaissance Hotel. Please follow the links for directions or to find the VETS with  Google Maps.
 
Construction Alert

Please Allow Extra Time!

Due to construction of the Vets, Park Street is closed to both cars and walking between the Providence Place Mall Garage and Avenue of the Arts, and is limited to one lane of northbound traffic only from Avenue of the Arts to Smith Street. Construction detours are anticipated to be in effect throughout the 2012/2013 Concert Season. Please follow the temporary routes listed on the Directions page of our website. 

 
Did You Know?
PARKING. . . is free at both the State parking lot next to the Capitol building and the lot directly ACROSS Smith Street, or pay $2 for up to 5 hours at the Mall Parking Garage for both Classical and Amica Rush Hour concerts.

 

For every Classical concert the Philharmonic runs shuttle buses between the Capitol parking lot and The Vets entrance: before the concert from 7pm to 8pm and after the concert continuing until the end of Larry's post-concert chat.

 

For every Classical and Rush Hour concert the Philharmonic offers a post-concert Q&A with Larry Rachleff. He generally brings the guest soloist or a member of the Orchestra out with him.
