The RiffRaff Arts Collective is based in a 10,000 square foot, multi-purpose creative zone which features a fine art gallery, artist studios and a live performance venue. Core artists work within the space and show their work in the storefront gallery. The Room Upstairs, a beautifully restored turn of the century ballroom, plays host to weekly music gatherings and a variety of after-school performing arts programs. The Studios on Two area is home to five newly remodeled studio spaces and a spacious gathering area which hosts artist networking groups and meetings. Located in downtown Princeton, West Virginia, the RiffRaff Arts Collective is breathing life back into a once depressed downtown area. With new businesses sprouting up all over Mercer Street, there is hope for a bright and prosperous renaissance in this small West Virginia town.
