The Riverside Arts Center (RAC) is pleased to present our second annual Creativity Fest Community Art Exhibiton.

Participants of all ages were invited to add their personal artistic embellishments to prepared canvas panels based on this year’s theme of Grow & Gather.
Please join us on Friday, March 13th from 5 to 7 pm for a reception to celebrate the artists and their 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 March 1 through July 1, 2026.
