In early November, RiverArts relocated part of its operations from the breezeway at 315 High Street to the Tish Gallery at 343 High Street. The move comes in response to reduced arts funding from the State of Maryland and rising rental costs. The Kent County News reports the transition is designed to support RiverArts’ mission and sustainability, cutting rental costs by nearly 50% and providing increased visibility for exhibitions and community programs. RiverArts Store will now operate from both the former Tish Gallery and a storefront beside the Clay Studio, keeping a presence on High Street’s main pedestrian thoroughfare.
