"That's Entertainment" North River Arts Festival poster 2011 by Jody Regan |
I love painting on the street each year at this weekend-long party, especially talking with the children who are curious about what is happening on my easel. I hope to be back together with them next year.

My painting from 2 years ago of a little girl at the festival, and one of my pieces that got in the juried show last year. There is such an ache for the camaraderie and wonderful work, food, music and crafts that we saw every year! - Kelley MacDonald

I am missing the NRAS Arts Festival this year because my granddaughters are living just up the street now and I was so excited to introduce them to this artful tradition. With that said, I will donate to North River Arts Society this year with the high hopes of attending next year with my family. xo

I was honored to wear many hats at the North River Arts Society over the last 30 years, including President for two years, which entailed directing traffic for art work drop off one year. Festival holds a special place in my heart. I was poster artist for Festival when expecting my 2nd child 28 years ago, which gave Jeannie Horan heart palpitations worrying I may go into labor before I got all those posters signed. And now my grandchildren enjoy the music, fun, art, activities and food at Festival. My whole family will miss it dearly this year. Keep NRAS in your hearts and if you can donate to help the Society through this difficult time, I know it will be greatly appreciated. Let's help NRAS live on. It has given so many cherished friendships, great memories and of course, artful enrichment for young and old.
