PAST PRESENT
From its earliest days, the Riverwest Artists Association was a major source of community arts programming greatly contributed to the neighborhood's current identity as an urban center of creativity. This exhibition features the work of former presidents, board members and volunteers who contributed to this long effort which eventually transformed the organization into a community art center, the jazz Gallery Center for the Arts. It is a tribute to those who made this all possible.
