Riverland Artists Unite
A small group of passionate Riverlanders met together in late March to explore the possibility of establishing a new Riverland arts festival. This meeting demonstrated the passion and vibrancy of the Arts Community and confirmed the need to come together to celebrate the Riverland’s artistic achievements.
But it’s not too late to get involved.
Country Arts SA on behalf of the Riverland Arts Community would like to invite all Riverland artists, writers, performers, artsworkers and arts supporters to attend an arts community gathering at the Riverland Complex (old cannery) in Berri on Friday 5th April at 4.30pm.
The meeting will be hosted by Suzanne Macpherson from Zuska Studios and is an opportunity for the arts community to come together and hone a shared vision for the Riverland.
As a key first step to galvanizing support for the Riverland arts festival, Alysha Herrmann, Riverland and Mallee Country Arts SA Arts and Cultural Development Officer, is currently updating the Riverland’s artist database. Contact Alysha at the River Lands Gallery on 8582 2288 to ensure your information is included and up to date.
