About the RISD Movement Lab Fellowship
The <a href="https://www.risd.edu/academics/campus-resources/movement-lab/movement-lab-fellowship" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RISD Movement Lab Fellowship</a> supports post-graduate artists and scholars pursuing independent creative research into movement across disciplines. Based in the Rhode Island School of Design’s Movement Lab, fellows explore movement through practices including animation, film, performance, dance, immersive media, robotics, kinetic sculpture, and emerging technologies. Their research examines how movement shapes perception, communication, social interaction, and embodied experience, expanding how movement can be understood and translated through contemporary artistic practice.

NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI — Get your running shoes and lederhosen ready! The annual OktoberVets 5K and German Festival is officially coming to town on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Proudly sponsored by the North Kingstown VFW Post 152, this highly anticipated community event combines fitness, culture, and a deep appreciation for our local veterans.
Since 2017, VFW Post 152 has hosted this premier fundraising event to support its vital community work. As an official non-profit organization, 100% of the race entry fees go directly toward funding critical veteran advocacy, assistance programs, and outreach initiatives managed by the post. Now in its ninth year, the event has become a staple of Rhode Island's autumn calendar, turning miles into meaningful support for those who served.
The festivities kick off sharply at 10:00 AM. Runners, walkers, and strollers are all welcome on the scenic 5K course, making it a fully accessible event for competitive athletes and families alike. Participants will wind through the historic heart of Wickford Village, enjoying beautiful waterfront views and colonial charm along the way. All registered participants will receive excellent race swag, including an official event t-shirt and a custom finisher medal.
Immediately following the race, the celebration shifts gears into a lively, family-friendly German Festival. Attendees can look forward to an authentic celebration featuring a festive local beer garden and grilled bratwurst served up directly by the VFW crew.
Whether you are looking to set a new personal record on the pavement, earn some great new race gear, or simply enjoy a festive autumn day by the water with great food, the OktoberVets 5K and German Festival has something for everyone.
Registration is officially open. Sign up today by visiting the official post website at VFW152.org or head directly to the race registration page at runsignup.com.
