Join us to celebrate the life and work of Jeannine “Cha Cha” Chartier, including Food, Festivities, Silent Auction, and Music !
The late Jeannine Chartier was a lifelong advocate for the visibility, rights, and inclusion of people with disabilities. For more than three decades, she worked tirelessly to ensure a voice for people with disabilities in the Rhode Island arts and culture community.
The Jeannine Chartier Fund at the Rhode Island Foundation has been launched to continue her work at opening doors, creating spaces, and inviting everyone into art expression. The fund will support organizations that demonstrate clear commitment to artists with disabilities.
“She has touched thousands of lives, ensuring that they were seen, that they belong. It is through Jeannine’s spirit—and through this Fund—that this work must and will continue.”
