ADULT PROGRAMS

As part of our mission for Arts for Everyone, River Arts offers flexibility in pricing for each and every artist. As we strive to make our adult programming possible for as many students as possible, we ask those with the ability to do so to consider paying more tuition to help those with fewer economic opportunities - please know your tuition will always be going to our mission to continue the arts for everyone.

“Pay What You Can” - ADDITIONAL TUITION ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE
Please email info@riverartsvt.org if you would like to request additional tuition assistance. We never turn a student away based on inability to pay.

The Open Studio: A Community & Wellness Space for LGBTQIA+ Individuals and Allies

This program is to create an inclusive, affirming, and creative space that promotes connection, belonging, and wellness through art and reflection. While rooted in mental wellness principles, the group would not be a therapy space—it would function as an open, supportive environment where participants can engage in themed art-making, journaling, and discussion together.
