The Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council is a nonprofit organization based in Providence, Rhode Island that serves as a networking center for scholars, authors, artists, and fans of the Weird literary world, inspired in part by Providence author H. P. Lovecraft  and expanded upon by so many others. We strive to foster a vibrant and diverse global weird fiction and art community, and to provide a home for this community here in Providence. Our headquarters and store are located in the historic Arcade in the heart of downtown Providence.

We organize public educational events, such as our flagship NecronomiCon Providence – a biennial convention that explores and celebrates the weird fiction and art genres via talks, panel discussions, readings, and workshops. We also present events throughout the year, including lectures, walking tours, art exhibits, film screenings, plays, and concerts to highlight the worldwide weird and showcase Lovecraft’s hometown of Providence – a city immortalized in the minds of countless fans of weird fiction around the world.
