A very limited of portraits remain. The price has been lowered as these portraits may have minor scratches or nicks. All are sold as is.

By now it has become well known that portraits of former Mayor Vincent (Buddy) A Cianci Jr were commissioned by the new Graduate Hotel in Providence. These paintings were placed in each of the Graduate Hotel’s newly renovated guest rooms. Unfortunately, they were taken down shortly after being installed due to unnecessary comments sent to the hotel.

However, a silver lining has emerged thanks to the Graduate General Manager all of the paintings have been donated to the Cianci Educational Foundation. You may now own one of these portraits painted by Michael Kirkbride for a special price of $160 with all proceeds benefiting the Foundations college scholarship mission. The entire Foundation board is thankful for this outcome as the donation will be of significant assistance to awarding future students partial scholarships to attend college.

The paintings are framed and look as they appear in the picture above. We have only 6 of them to sell and will allow 2 to be purchased at a time. Once your payment has processed a member of the Foundation team will email you with pick up dates and times at the Foundation office in Warwick, RI.

Thank you for supporting the Cianci Educational Foundation.
