Overview
Join us for an unforgettable journey through the heart of the River Arts District, where history, artistry, and resilience come to life. This community has weathered immense challenges—including a historic flood in 1916 and the most recent flood of 2024, which is considered the thousand-year flood. This vibrant community of artists has risen from the wreckage, more passionate than ever to share their stories and creations with you.
On this pay-as-you-wish tour, you’ll explore the district’s rich history, meet incredible artists who lost everything yet refused to give up, and hear firsthand accounts of survival and rebirth. Along the way, enjoy a delicious tasting, witness a mesmerizing glassblowing demonstration, and experience the indomitable spirit that makes this artistic hub so special.
Come support, celebrate, and be inspired. The River Arts District is back—and ready to welcome you!
