Art in the Making - Our Public School Initiative

State and Local budgets being what they are, the first thing to be cut is usually the Arts. Art in the Making is a community outreach initiative we fund with the money we raise from our annual RiverArts Festival. Approximately 250 students of all ages and different public schools will have the opportunity to work with some of our exceptional artists who generously volunteer their time.artists. Please stop by the Art in the Making artists' booths during the festival and thank them for their participation! They are the essential part of making this program a success.
