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 glass-blowing 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!
About 1.5 a mile walk
Outside of the studio is where we will meet. I recommend parking at the free parking lot right beside the studio. Also if you want to park at the end, you can park at the visitor center in the river arts district at 3 River Arts Place.
We will end near warehouse studios after a brief walk near the river
We will start here with a demonstration from the artist of how their artwork is paired with videography to create a unique multimedia experience
Guests will get a private tour of this historical music venue including stories about different musicians who have performed here as well as the history behind the murals and paintings that line the walls.
We will meet some local artist and explore their galleries
We will watch a live glass blowing experience. Depending on which artists are available, we may even get to interact with one of the glass blowers and have them explain the process to us!
