We are RAD!
The Riverfront Arts District is made possible in part by donor, Martha Stringer, in memory of the late Dr. "Buzz" Stringer. Mrs. Stringer's donation has allowed us to make over $15,000.00 to Volusia County School Visual Arts students, local school programs, local art organizations including ArtHaus, and community artists.
Our mission is to provide a vibrant cultural hub by creating an environment to promote growth through art, education, and culture featuring local artistic talent, public art installations, murals, indie art galleries, art events, entertainment, and performance art in Downtown Daytona Beach.
