Where Creativity Meets Community

Live Music. Theater. Visual Arts. 

Arts Education For All Ages And Skill Levels.

 

Great River Arts is a member and sponsor supported community art and event center, with 20% of our operating budget funded by your support. Your contributions play a vital role in supporting GRA's mission to provide arts and entertainment in our community, while also revitalizing downtown Little Falls. GRA plays a significant role in sustaining the community’s artistic and economic vibrancy through exhibition and performance opportunities, arts education offerings, employment, and a gallery and storefront for artists to display and sell their work. 

Together, we will build Great River Arts and our Community!
