Riverside Arts Market

Bryan Collins Art at the Riverside Arts Market in Jacksonville, FL

This Saturday you will find me at the Riverside Arts Market (RAM) in Jacksonville, FL. This free event takes place every Saturday underneath the Fuller Warren Bridge where you’ll be shaded and dry year round. Over 100 local artists, sculptors, potters, crafters, food vendors, farmers, and more gather with original and unique fine art and goods. Live music takes place on the main stage next to the beautiful Saint Johns River with spectacular views of downtown Jacksonville.

The Riverside Arts Market has been an utterly essential, career changing experience for me, because of YOU. After moving back to Florida from a 7 year adventure in Colorado, I quickly surveyed the art scene and by the blessings of God, discovered the (then) newly formed RAM, and found that I was close enough to participate every week. There aren’t many places in the country that offer a year round, covered outdoor art market, and Northeast Florida gets to enjoy this mash-up of talent every weekend.

I arrive each Saturday around 7am to begin my 3-hour setup and the show runs from 10am-3pm. If you’re an early morning person and want to beat the crowds or the heat, feel free to stop by while I’m setting up. If I’m there, I’m open!

Don’t forget, it’s a FREE event!
