Welcome to the RAC!

The Riverside Arts Center is a "multi-purpose cultural arts venue providing performance, exhibit, studio, office and reception space for artists and arts and cultural organizations to enrich the Ypsilanti community through the arts and cultural experiences."

Attention Patrons and Friends of Riverside Arts Center: The long awaited project to construct an elevator and stair connector between our two buildings has begun! From July 1st thru December 1st we will be in "excuse our dust" mode. All scheduled events will take place and the public should encounter little to detract from their Riverside experience. On top of our current elevator project we have been informed of two other grant awards. One from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to refurbish the facade of our Off-Center and another from the Michigan Council for the Arts & Cultural Affairs to enlarge our theatre lobby and provide other amenities. We hope you are as excited as we are as we enable more space to be used for the arts in downtown Ypsilanti.

In the theater:

January 23-24
Vince Averill and Jesse Popp

Vince Averill and Jesse Popp will return to S.E. Michigan for a night of comedy. Both comics got their start in Michigan before moving to New York in 2006.  They've both appeared on Comedy Central, and Vince is an EMU alum.  Along with them they will be bringing Matt McCarthy.  Matt has appeared on Comedy Central, Just for Laughs, and countless commercials (McDonald's, Verizon, Guinness).  Greg Johnson rounds out the bill.  Greg's weekly show in NYC was awarded the ECNY award for Best Variety Show in 2008.

Performances at 8:00 PM. Tickets ($12) available online: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/50970.
