Upcoming Events

Join us Friday evenings, rain or shine this July and August for a brand new downtown music series presented by River Arts and sponsored by our downtown organization, the Morristown Alliance for Culture and Commerce (MACC). Bring a chair, get a bite to eat from one of our local restaurants, and enjoy our downtown while listening to local musicians.

The Listening Outside the Lines project is a hard one to describe without witnessing it. This is the first time that River Arts has attempted to present a multimedia presentation. Oral histories use the QR technology to share audio links that lead to a person's story of their experience in Vermont. Along with each recording is a portrait of the person. The connecting thread of these oral stories are that the narrators all identify at People of the Global Majority (PGM), more widely known by the acronym BIPOC. These stories are profoundly personal and humbling to listen to.

Join River Arts this Saturday, December 4th for our Artisan Holiday Market! This is a wonderful opportunity to find a unique gift while supporting local artists and River Arts programming. The market will be running from 10am-2pm.
