Join us at the Royal Gorge White Water Festival for a special outdoor edition of the First Friday Art Show: A River Runs Through It, a celebration of the Arkansas River, water, motion, and the landscapes shaped by them.This two-day show invites artists to explore the spirit of the river in any medium. Think swirling currents, whitewater action, canyon walls, serene reflections, river wildlife, kayakers and rafters, or abstract interpretations of water and flow. Whether your work is bold and powerful or calm and meditative, if it connects to the river, it belongs here.
Set in Centennial Park, surrounded by water, music, and festival energy, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your work to thousands of attendees.
