The Rumriver Art Center is excited to be partnering with the cities of Anoka, Coon Rapids and Ramsey to offer some amazing in person Summer Art Camps for adults at local parks. Art camps will be offered at Peninsula Point Park and Akin Riverside Park in Anoka, Lions Park in Coon Rapids and Elmcrest Park in Ramsey. The cities are providing these parks for the camps because they all have shelters, restrooms and parking.

Rumriver Art Center is offering over 50 Kids Summer Art Camps in 2021 – including our NEW Pre-K Craft Camp! The camps provide a stimulating environment for young artists to grow as creative, unique individuals and to learn how to solve problems visually. RRAC continues to follow our COVID-19 policies and procedures in alignment with MN State Guidelines.

Rumriver Art Center will be hosting a new art show titled Changes in its gallery. The show opening is Saturday, June 19, 2021 from 2pm-4pm.

The gallery show will feature the artwork of teaching artist and mentor, Cheryl Barr and her mentee, Anita Cholewa. They participated in Rumriver Art Center’s 2020-2021 Emerging Artist Mentorship Program for Older Adults Ages 55+. The purpose of the artist mentorship program is to provide older adults who never had the opportunity to find their artistic voice during their youth a chance to explore and find it now.

Join the city of Ramsey and Rumriver Art Center for the Elmcrest Art Fair! This event will feature local artists selling their work, local food vendors, artist demonstrations, and introductory art classes. Visitors will be able to vote on their favorite artists, with a grand prize of $200 for the “People’s Choice Award.”
