RiverArts was envisioned and brought to life by visual artists over 50 years ago. Their pioneering artistic spirit continues to thrive today, as we find new ways to bring color, texture, light, and perspective to our Hudson River community.
RiverArts is delighted to welcome artists and art lovers back for this vibrant celebration of art in the Rivertowns, an exciting opportunity to enjoy the diversity of art throughout our community. Over the last two and a half decades, the tour has grown into one of the most anticipated arts events in Westchester County. Join us as we celebrate the return of the RiverArts Studio Tour on Saturday October 23, 2021, 11am – 6pm.
“Serene Spring – An Evening of Chamber Music” is the name of the Solace Trio’s program of works chosen to acknowledge the lows of the past year and to celebrate where we are now. The concert will take place on Friday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Ardsley and is co-produced by RiverArts and Doug Coe, former executive and artistic director of the organization. This will be the first time that RiverArts has held a concert at St. Barnabas. The church that is there now opened in 1956; however there has been a St. Barnabas at the site in Ardsley for more than a century, according to Larry Wolf, music director for 14 years and another Hastings resident.
For nine hours, music will fill the Rivertowns on Saturday, June 5, during the largest in-person cultural event in this area since before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. From noon to 9 p.m., more than 100 performances will be held at 24 outdoor locations in Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, Irvington, and Tarrytown during the sixth annual RiverArts Music Tour.
