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.
