Steering Committee

Our steering committee is comprised of individuals from both RiverArtsFest, Inc. and the South Main Association, along with former board members of Arts in the Park. While we come from diverse backgrounds, we all share a genuine desire to promote an appreciation of the arts by the citizens of our community.

We could not put on this festival without the leadership and dedication of our steering committee and the hands-on support of our volunteers!
