Looking for a holiday gift with real heart?
Skip the last-minute scramble and celebrate the women and gender expansive people who inspire you every day. Our Holiday Gift Guide offers three ways to give with purpose: honor a mentor or family member in our upcoming Indelible community portrait exhibition, pair that tribute with everyday Alcove keepsakes, or give a year of membership in a thriving local community. Every gift supports our mission to uplift, preserve history, and inspire changemakers across Rhode Island and beyond.
Indelible Entry – $50
This year, give the gift of remembrance. With an Indelible portrait gift, you honor the woman or gender expansive person in your life who has changed your world.
Their photograph will be displayed in the Portrait Gallery starting in March 2027 as a high-quality print alongside a custom narrative placard sharing who they are, their impact, and why their story matters to you.
Your gift also:
Makes their legacy visible to audiences worldwide through an online companion exhibition
Secures permanent placement of their portrait and biography in the Indelible Community Archive, a photographic book that will be added to the Biographical Library
Supports The Alcove’s mission of uplifting women and gender expansive people, preserving vital history, and inspiring changemakers from Rhode Island and beyond
Includes an official printable certificate commemorating their entry, a keepsake you can present as part of your gift!
Perfect for: the mentor who believed in you, the grandmother with the stories, the friend who has always been there for you.
Indelible Entry + Thank-You Set – $75
Give the full Alcove experience. This set pairs one Indelible: Portraits of our Community entry with an Alcove thank-you set: one tote bag for carrying books, groceries, or your laptop, one rosette pin to don proudly, and three stickers to adorn your bottle, notebook, and everything in between. It all comes gift-wrapped and ready to give, with an official printable certificate commemorating their entry.
Perfect for: the friend who enjoys supporting local businesses, the gallery and museum lover, anyone you’d like to celebrate with something tangible that lasts.
Gift Membership – $300
Gift a year of community and belonging. A one-year membership to The Alcove is a gift that keeps unfolding long after the holidays. Your recipient becomes part of a community dedicated to uplifting women and gender expansive people, preserving vital history, and inspiring changemakers from Rhode Island and beyond. It’s a meaningful choice for the person who loves history, community, or simply deserves a place where their values are celebrated.
Their membership runs January 1 – December 31, 2027. They’ll also receive The Alcove tote bag, a handy everyday essential! You’ll receive a gift card to pass along whenever you’re ready to share the news.
Perfect for: the art and book lover, someone new to Rhode Island seeking community, the history buff.
Not sure any of these fit? You can still give.
Together, we create space for women and gender expansive people to thrive. A gift of any size helps us build community and collective momentum, keep our programs and events going, and sustain a space we get to call our own.
Thank-you sets and totes are only available for pickup at 189 Broadway by Saturday, December 19 or upon our return from winter break in January 2027. Questions? Reach us at info@alcoveri.org or 401-443-3347.
