More than halfway through the summer, and you might be getting just a bit sick of swampy sticky days, overflowing gardens (quick! Come up with another tomato recipe!), and ferocious mosquitoes. Chestertown RiverArts to the rescue with a new website – community.chestertownriverarts.org – that is loaded with exhibits, classes, activities and more to help you beat the summer doldrums.
Try Camp RiverArts for projects, activities, and local outings: all free, and doable with supplies you already have.
Check out our exhibits!
- Taking Care: Celebrating the Earth, our first fully-online exhibit, is LIVE!
