Artist vendor feedback from 2025 Riverside Arts Weekend
"The support throughout the process was spectacular: It was well-organized, great communication and amazing volunteer help with booth sitting. It all came together to make this a great weekend."
"The volunteers are the best, and I'm so grateful they come by to check in with water or offer to booth sit, and thank you for providing snacks. I truly appreciate the organization, time and effort that goes in to this event, and I am grateful for how well promoted it is."
