RIVERSIDE ARTS CENTER + YOU

Connections at the Center

Creativity at the Center

YOU at the Center

What happens at the center of something? Paths cross. A point of connection occurs. The center is always the very heart of an entity—the beating pulse that enlivens everything around it.

What happens at our Center—the Riverside Arts Center—is a range of creative experiences that nurture and support the Ypsilanti community and surrounding areas. Every day, we open our doors to a vibrant space where everyone is welcome to share, express, explore, and connect.

Stop by and enjoy our monthly exhibitions, catch a performance or play, discover free family-friendly events, or join us for hands-on workshops.

Our first Feature Artist Friday: Hannah Lilly! “To be totally honest, if I don’t paint one day I get cranky. I remember I was having a particularly moody period of a week or two, and my brother astutely said, I think its because you haven’t painted.”
