Make sure to plan a visit to the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts to see the new exhibits, which opened on Third Friday, July 16. See work of the Maurice River Painters, a group of local and out-of-state artists who paint the landscapes of the river, farms, marshes each summer. Every two years the artists contribute pieces from the previous year for this outstanding display.

In the Pat Witt Gallery at the Riverfront Center, “Cumberland on Canvas” will delight you with scenes from around the county by familiar artists and emerging painters. The Cumberland County Cultural & Heritage Commission is the sponsor of the event, which was dormant for several years. The show will be judged, and the top three winners will have their artwork purchased to add to the County’s permanent collection. These paintings will be hung in a variety of county buildings to be enjoyed by all who go there.

Please mark your calendar early for October 16. During COVID we were not able to host special events as we have in the past. On Saturday, October 16, from 2 until 6 p.m. the Arts District will offer a live music concert in Captain Buck Riverfront Park, Buck Street. Featured bands will be The Snake Brothers and Arsenal. These two bands have a strong following, and we know our community in Millville and throughout the county and region won’t want to miss the autumn family event. We’ll be adding other elements to the concert afternoon and will keep you posted.
