The Riverside Arts Center (RAC) is pleased to present an exhibition of art created by the Riverside community. In honor of Riverside’s sesquicentennial, RAC hosted Creativity Fest in April, inviting the community to join in two Saturdays of artmaking led by our teaching artists, Shawn Vincent, Tariq Tamir, and Theresa Paris. Participants of all ages were invited to add their personal artistic embellishments to panels loosely representing our river. This community project, like our river, connects, directs, and flows between us in celebration of Riverside’s 150 years.
Please join us on Sunday, May 18th from 3 to 6 pm for a reception to celebrate the artists and art. Light refreshments will be served at the Riverside Arts Center, a short block around the corner from the Town Hall. The exhibition will be on view at 27 Riverside Road from May 12 through July 30th, 2025.
Riverside Town Hall exhibitions feature work by area artists, celebrating the exchange of support and generosity between the community of Riverside and the Riverside Arts Center.
