The Riverside Arts Market (RAM) is/will be Jacksonville's spectacular new riverfront artists' market and is scheduled to open next spring. Beneath the sheltering canopy of the Fuller Warren Bridge structure at the West end of the North bank Riverwalk; this huge all-weather weekend artists' market has its Grand Opening tentatively scheduled for March 14, 2009. With the size of over one football field's covered area, the riverfront market will feature nearly 150 artists displaying their wares, accompanied by musical entertainment, street performers, and food vendors, rain or shine. All of the arts and crafts must be hand-made, and the artist who produced the work will be present at the artists' market. All art will reviewed by a jury, and only the finest quality of work will be exhibited at the artists' market. Modeled after the highly successful Portland Saturday Market in Portland, Oregon (which has over 700,000 visitors per year) RAM is destined to be one of Jacksonville's most exciting cultural and entertainment destinations Jacksonville residents and visitors will have an ever-changing riverfront weekend venue with entertainment, food, and fun - a great family festival place, as well as an unparalleled marketplace for creative shopping - under the massive Gothic arches of the bridge!
