Two Rivers Arts
Elevating Art and Artists
Meet Our Partners
2 Rivers Arts was born from a shared vision and a deep creative collaboration that began at The Arts Center—one rooted in the belief that art thrives best when artists work together, support one another, and actively engage their community. Partners Anne McCahill, Beth Grimes, Janice Jones, Rick Kohli, and Ronda Rotz each bring a rich mix of experience, talent, and perspective, shaping a dynamic organization focused on connection, excellence, and growth. Together, we are building something intentional: a place where collaboration fuels possibility and where artists and audiences alike feel welcomed, inspired, and supported.
​
Our vision—Elevating Arts and Artists—guides everything we do. Beyond thoughtfully curated art presentations, 2 Rivers Arts serves the community through an ever-expanding range of classes, workshops, trips, retreats, lectures, and special events designed to spark creativity at every level. While we are proud to call Westmoreland County home, our reach already extends far beyond, welcoming participants from Florida to New England and beyond. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and excited about what lies ahead as we continue to grow, create, and elevate arts and artists together.
​
As we step into this new chapter, we are deeply grateful to the community for so warmly welcoming us into our new location and embracing what we are building together.
