About Us

Building Community Through Creativity

River Arts is a volunteer-led collective dedicated to strengthening the cultural heartbeat of the Russian River region. We are a small group of local artists and neighbors championing creativity in all its forms—visual arts, music, performance, storytelling, and shared cultural experiences. Our mission is simple: to nurture a thriving, inclusive arts community where expression is encouraged, collaboration is celebrated, and everyone feels welcome.

Throughout the year, River Arts brings people together through exhibitions, workshops, live performances, community gatherings, and partnerships with local organizations. We believe that the arts have the power to build connection, support local talent, and enrich everyday life in Guerneville and beyond. By fostering opportunities for both established and emerging artists, we help ensure that the spirit of creativity continues to grow along the Russian River for generations to come.
