Profile Information
From inception Riversdale Arts main aim has been ‘to promote the arts, in all their forms’ within the local area. Classes are held offering tuition in various art and craft forms, local groups meet regularly at our Art Rooms. Every year in July we hold an art exhibition in the Riversdale Hall. the Exhibition is a ‘must see’ event on the provinces’ Arts calendar, annually showcasing more than 500 artworks from over 80 artists, in a wide variety of mediums. The Exhibition is for invited artists from throughout New Zealand along with our own local artists also able to exhibit. One of the many drawcards for artists is such a varied high standard of artwork viewed by a large audience from Otago and Southland and also our policy of paying for return freight on unsold exhibits. For such a small town (approx. 400) our exhibition in our large community centre is quite unique. Many of our artists travel to attend Opening Night.
