#RIVERSIDEARTSMARKET

Hop on down to the RAM this Saturday, March 30 for our Easter “Egg” Hunt where you can find hundreds of painted rocks done by local artists from the market in hopes of finding that special rock or two! 🐰🐣

All painted rocks will be scattered around the market or within vendor booths so make sure you search low and high. The hunt begins at 10a.m. when the market opens where rocks can be found until they’re all gone!
Come see our friends over at @ciljacksonville and their Abilities in Art - a disABILITY community project where everyone is welcome! This unique event uses wheelchairs to create beautiful works of art. You can bring your own wheelchair or use one of CIL’s.

For over 10 years now, we’ve been able to work alongside CIL Jacksonville and the Abilities in Art program with @preservationjax to help raise awareness of the almost 200,000 people with disabilities who live in our community. Don’t miss out! 

We’re open rain or shine, 10am to 3pm every Saturday ☀️
Your month, Your Market Haul! 🛒

With hundreds of makers to go through, it can be hard to decide what you want, so we put together some things to help out! Did we get this right? Let us know below and we’ll do a part ✌️
Riverside Arts Market Celebrates 15 Years! 🥳⁠
⁠
On Saturday, April 6, Riverside Arts Market (RAM) will be celebrating its 15th anniversary! That's 15 years of celebrating creativity, community, and local flavor here in Jacksonville, FL! Join us for a vibrant showcase of artistry, farm-fresh delights, and a decade and a half of fostering connections.⁠
⁠
Come out to learn about the history of RAM from Dr. Wayne Wood and what it was like when RAM was first introduced all while you shop locally. You'll also be able to dive deep into history as we spotlight 15 makers who have either been at RAM since day one or made an impact of their own. And did we mention dancing? Local silent disco connoisseurs, @hushhushjax, will be out at RAM where you can listen to the top hits of 2009/2010!⁠
⁠
This is a tremendous milestone and we're thrilled to still be here and supporting the local businesses we host every Saturday Under the Bridge. Join us on this day as we celebrate this special day where art meets heart, and every market day is a celebration! 💛
Did you know that more than half of the small businesses we host every Saturday are either woman-owned or operated? That’s a lot! We are so incredibly proud and honored to support all the amazing women who join us 🥰

They are the makers, farmers, artists, creators, visionaries and so much more on top of their personal lives. You can meet and get to know every single one of them at Riverside Arts Market every Saturday! #womenshistorymonth 

If you haven’t a favorite woman-owned business, make sure to show them love in the comments below 🙌
We’re marching into a new month of exciting days at RAM! Tomorrow, crack open a cold one cause it’s First Saturday Brews 🍻

Stop by our beer tent located in the bottom half of the market by the food trucks and enjoy your favorite brew for $5 as you cruise through the market! We’ll have a local selection of some fan-favorite like @intuitiveeyellc , @manifestdistilling and @boldcitybrewery.

Thank you @kismetartstudios for always putting your artistic spin on our sign board each month!
If Riverside Arts Market is one of your favorite go-to-spots, stop scrolling!

For the past few years, we have been recognizing and awarding a vendor who attends RAM that has contributed to the overall experience of the market. But this year, we have a special recognition! Have you ever thought “Wow, how does RAM setup like this every weekend?” Or “That musician sounds incredible. It’s amazing they have live music every Saturday!” then we’d like to introduce to you, Frank and Roy 🙌

These two gentlemen are the backbone of the work we do every weekend. Frank is our market extraordinaire, who sets up and breaks down the market while Roy, our master sound technician, has the River Stage setup and ready to go for every performance. Both have been a part of the RAM Family since we started 15 years ago, so if you see them while you’re out at the market, give them a shout out 🙌 We couldn’t do RAM without them!
RAIN 🌧️ OR SHINE ☀️

RAM is open every Saturday not matter the weather (unless there’s a hurricane)! Stop by today between now and 3pm to get your fill of handmade goods all while supporting local. 

And don’t forget, tag us or use #riversideartsmarket to share your market haul 🛍️
Don't go breaking our hearts 💔⁠

What a Saturday! Our 100th Day of School Re-supply Bash was a major hit thanks to you 🙌

The weather was perfect for the planned festivities (Giant Jenga, Musical Statues + more) and we reached our goal for a lot of the donations that we needed! The students of Central Riverside Elementary school will now be supplied with 100 art packs, hand sanitizer, tissues, shoes, socks, snacks and backpacks.

Thank you to @thebalancekingreigns and @newcompanypresents for all your work and activating the River Stage all day! This event has been made possible through the support of PNC Bank, MOTIF, Councilman Jimmy Peluso, City Council District 7, Haskell Company and Blick Art Materials. Thank you all!
It’s the best day of the week! Spending Saturdays Under the Bridge with you all is always the highlight of our work week ☀️

Today’s weather is absolutely gorgeous and if you haven’t made it out yet, get here! We’re open until 3pm and celebrating the 100th Day of School Re-supply Drive 📚 

If you can’t make it, consider donating items to the students of Central Riverside Elementary School and shopping the Amazon Wishlist for their Dolphin Store (linked in bio)!
