Established in 1968, the North River Arts Society (NRAS) is a grass roots non-profit organization fostering participation and appreciation of the arts. The Society is governed by a Board of Directors and resides at the G.A.R. Hall, 157 Old Main Street in Marshfield Hills.
The NRAS offers classes for adults and children, a Festival of the Arts, Members Show, Childrens' Day, Holiday Arts Sale, workshops, scholarships, financial aid, newsletters, discounts for classes and supplies, a new open mic series for poets and songwriters, a writers workshop, and exhibits at Ventress Library Gallery, Dolphin Gallery, G.A.R. Gallery and the artists cooperative Little Gallery.
Mission Statement
Our mission is two-fold: to nurture artists in the various stages of their careers through the creation, teaching, promotion and sharing of the arts, including fine, graphic, performing and literary arts, and to encourage public appreciation of, and involvement in, the arts.
