Naturally Lewis, Inc. Transitions Art in the Park to
Local Business, Rags & Rivers
 LEWIS COUNTY, NY – Naturally Lewis,
Inc. is excited to announce the transition of its popular summer art walk,
Art in the Park, to local business Rags & Rivers, beginning in the
summer of 2025. Art in the Park was brought forward to Naturally Lewis as an
opportunity to partner with local artists, while also adding color and
local flair to our parks, by Amanda Drake in 2023. With this transition,
Art in the Park will continue sustainably with leadership by a
community-oriented artist and business leader.
“While we’ve
loved watching this event grow, we’ve realized that Naturally Lewis isn’t the
right long- term home for Art in the Park,” says Jenna Lauraine,
Programs& Partnerships Director at Naturally Lewis, Inc. “This event
deserves to be led by artists who truly understand what the creative
community needs. Our role is to support entrepreneurship, and in this
instance, that means empowering them to take the lead. We're excited to
pass the baton to Rags& Rivers, a local business that shares the heart
of this event.”
Rags& Rivers,
a local creative business passionate about storytelling through the arts, will
host Art in the Park starting in 2025. Applications for the upcoming summer
art walk will be available at ragsandrivers.com
on May 15, 2025.
Amanda Drake,
owner of Rags& Rivers, shares her excitement about the future of the
event:
“Art in the Park
has become such a special celebration of creativity in our community, and
I’m honored to carry it forward. I’m passionate about helping artists find
a place to share their stories, and I see this as a natural extension of the
work we do at Rags& Rivers. I’m thrilled to build on what Naturally
Lewis started and continue making space for art that inspires.”
