Mayor’s Ball for the Arts 2026

ROCK OF THE AGES

The Mayor's Ball for the Arts will take place at a new venue on Saturday, March 21, 2026—TBH! 

This year, the Mayor's Ball will once again be a themed event, and ROCK OF THE AGES will kick it off in 2026. Attendees can celebrate the occasion by dressing up as their favorite rock hero. 


The hardworking, committed, and gifted artists who have had an impact on our community over the past year will be honored and showcased at the Mayor's Ball for the Arts. At the event, where the winners will be announced, artists who have been nominated and voted for by the community will receive their awards. 


Every year, the Riverside Arts Council raises money through the Mayor's Ball. You won't want to miss this event, which will also feature a silent auction, food, drinks, entertainment, and an opportunity drawing with amazing artwork made by local artists!
