Be the first to go in “The Cellar”, the all new event space in the lower level of the River Stop Cafe.

A work of art itself, the basement of the River Stop Cafe and former art studio of Russ Sheppard, is ready to welcome guests with its Speakeasy feel. You’ll enjoy complimentary wine & charcuterie, and live music, as you wander the silent auction and sponsor opportunities to support TrueNorth’s cultural arts programs.

This private open house style event is your opportunity to be one of the first to see The Cellar and support the arts at the same time.

Cash bar with prohibition cocktails available.

There are a number of ways you can impact young artists. Through your support and attendance, you will ensure the continuation of vital programs that will inspire the next generation of artists.
