About Us
RiverArts was built by volunteers. That long-held tradition of service continues to strengthen the organization today, as dedicated volunteers from across the Rivertowns lend their time and talents to our mission.
RiverArts runs on the power of art. A dedicated team of professionals keeps the engines running as we bring our programs to life 365 days of every year.
