RiverArtsFest 2026

Volunteering with the Rivers Arts Fest for a second consecutive year was an incredible privilege that allowed me to make a community impact by supporting the operational setup that keeps the event running smoothly for a bunch of visitors. Working closely alongside Leigh to manage the volunteer tent allowed us to function as an effective team, ensuring overall event readiness. Through this experience, I was able to further refine professional skills in event management, strategic communication, and team coordination. My engagement with Leigh was past logistics, as she introduced me to the impressive lineup of featured artists showcasing their work. Experiencing the scale and creative talent present at the festival directly motivated me as a visual artist. Surrounded by a thriving artistic environment, I gained fresh perspective and heightened motivation to venture further into building and scaling my business. Ultimately, the festival reinforced both my dedication to community service and my long-term vision as an upcoming creator and business owner.
