The benefits of membership in the River Arts Alliance are many and varied. In addition to options such as an artist webpage on the RAA site, promotion of events and projects, networking, and participation in the Annual Member Exhibit and Showcase, our members support our larger projects, programs, and events.

RAA is an important part of our vibrant arts community and members are critical to the success of everything we do.

Family Art Day is a free, interactive art adventure for all ages, held on the first Saturday in September at the Jaycee Pavilion in East Lake Park, Winona.

Celebrate the arts through fun family art activities that continue River Arts Alliance’s efforts to promote arts in the community through hands-on activities and experiential learning. The event is free and open to all.

The first River Arts Alliance Member Exhibit was held in 2016, allowing our visual artist members to share their work in a gallery setting. The annual event was interrupted in 2020 and was adapted to a virtual format for 2021.

As a member organization, RAA supports a wide variety of artists. Writers, musicians, filmmakers, and dancers joined our visual artists in the Member Exhibit and Showcase for the first time this year.

The HBC Fence Project: A History of Communication is a public art collaboration between River Arts Alliance, HBC, and the City of Winona for the past several years.

On Thursday, July 18, 2019, members of the three organizations celebrated the completion of this project at its location at Levee Park, along the north side of HBC headquarters.
