RiverArt
was a
festive, early autumn sale of handmade
crafts and fine art produced by skilled crafters and artists
from throughout the region! More
than 325 people gathered
on the grounds of the historic Forbes House Museum in Milton
to take part in RiverArt. The Museum grounds overlook the picturesque Neponset
River Estuary and Governor Hutchinson's Field, a property protected
by the Trustees of Reservations. RiverArt attendees visited the colorful booths of crafts and fine
art vendors, watched plein
air art in the making and enjoyed live music and nature walks.
Children also enjoyed a variety of craft-making activities. We
hope you'll join us next year for RiverArt!
