rdf:langString The NecronomiCon Providence, also known as the NecronomiCon Providence: The International Conference and Festival of Weird Fiction, Art, and Academia, is a biennial convention and academic conference held in Providence, Rhode Island. It explores the life and works of creators of weird fiction, film, and art of the past and the present. Originally billed as "the largest celebration ever of [Lovecraft's] work and influence", it has broadened its scope to examining and celebrating weird creative efforts internationally. The event is typically held on the weekend closest to Lovecraft's birthday of August 20th. Event programming is held primarily at the Biltmore Hotel Providence and Omni Hotels, with additional events held in downtown Providence, the John Hay Library, and adjacent College Hill sites. The event is organized by the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council, which also runs the store Lovecraft Arts & Sciences.
