RAI was chartered in 1998 to raise the capital to construct the River Arts Center, the performance and gallery venue for the Sauk Prairie community. Since construction was completed, RAI’s role has changed to one of an arts presenter and promoter. In that role, RAI persists in bringing invigorating and provocative productions and exhibits to the community. River Arts, Inc. is a non-profit, board-driven organization whose purpose is to bring high quality arts, culture and entertainment events mainly to the River Arts Center.
