About Us

For over half a century, RiverArts has been the catalyst that connects performers, musicians and art-makers with Rivertowns audiences.
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.

With a small staff, collaborators make RiverArts shine. We are fortunate to have such professional talent living in the Rivertowns. This is not an exhaustive list and represents a cadre of artists that have recently produced events and programs or showcased our work through photography and videography.

We are grateful to many individuals, businesses, and organizations for supporting creativity in our community. Benefits of RiverArts membership and sponsorship include exclusive invitations, discounts, and audience engagement opportunities throughout the year.

“‘Imprint of Light’ is a unique collaboration of music and dance celebrating the wonder of the human body and our relationship to the elements of nature,” RiverArts’ artistic director Kate Ashby said. “The combination of music, dance, and visual images inspires us to see the dance and the world around us in a new light, through the lens of the imagination.
