The 8th annual Inspired! is April 21st ! This Rivertown Film fast-paced fundraising event celebrates the art of creation. It’s also a community get-together, with hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, desserts, plus a silent auction, a raffle, and a chance to mingle with neighbors, friends, soon-to-be friends, and the artists themselves.
Inspired = of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse
Inspired!
What is Inspired?
