Your donation will go a long way in supporting our mission of fostering participation and appreciation of the arts at the community level. 

Hello, Art Supporters!

The North River Arts Society has served as a creative and cultural hub for Marshfield and the South Shore for over 56 years, providing a place where artists and art lovers can connect, grow, and thrive. Our historic building at 157 Old Main Street has been at the heart of it all, hosting exhibits, classes, workshops, and cherished community events like the Festival of the Arts.

However, the years have begun to show their wear. Over the past few years we have undertaken many important infrastructure projects to maintain and update our home. To continue being a welcoming, inspiring space for generations to come, we are embarking on a new critical project for 2025: painting the exterior of our beloved building.

Maintaining a historic structure like ours comes with significant costs. The new paint job will not only restore the building’s beauty but also protect it from the elements, ensuring it remains a vibrant gathering space for future artists and visitors. The estimated cost for the exterior painting is $25,000, covering preparation, materials, and labor by skilled professionals.

We need your help to make this project a reality. NRAS relies on the generosity of our community to sustain our programs and maintain our building. Your tax-deductible gift, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact.

Since 2020, we have seen how the arts have the power to inspire, heal, and bring people together. With your support, we can continue providing these experiences in a space that reflects the spirit of our vibrant artistic community.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to keeping NRAS a place of beauty, creativity, and community. Together, we can ensure our building remains a cherished home for arts for years to come.

With our gratitude and appreciation,

Liz Haywood-Sullivan
