Our objectives are...

  • To bring residents of the Village of Riverside and visitors into the center of         Riverside for this art experience. 
  • To offer varied and new expressions of art every year to our patrons that expand   the understanding and appreciation of what it means to "make art". 
  • To be open to new and changing vehicles for accomplishing the above - including   exhibits, art-for-sale, performances and more.

Testimonials:

RAW continues to delight and surprise us year to year. We've been lucky enough to jury into the show for the past 5 years. Our sales are high, festival is well run and organized, set up and take down are a little challenging because a cart is required but...our booth is on grass, in the shade so it's worth it!

The promoter of this event is very organized and artist friendly. Booth sitters are amazing, music doesn't interfere with sales. Beautiful park, great sangria and fantastic sales.
