Arts Marketing & Photography Services

I have a deep passion for engaging with and supporting arts and culture organizations and individual artists as a multidisciplinary artist, educator and consultant.

I've previously led art education workshops, supported international community festivals and events, collaborated with teams to produce murals and public art.

I continue to collaborate 1-1 with artists, helping them develop strategic business practices, equitable pricing models, sustainable operations, and engaging marketing and communication tactics to reach their goals.

I also help creatives and cultural producers access and secure grants, develop community partnerships, secure workshops and fellowships, and more as they seek sustainability within their craft.

I offer expert photography support that can be packaged and delivered for use on your website or social media platforms as well. Please contact me if you are in need of documentation of your upcoming special event, staff headshots, or artist portraits.

“River’s creative collaboration on our project was exceptional; their insights and dedication made the process both enjoyable and meaningful.”
