During the holiday season, Riverside shops and retailers are hosting the Window Wonderland contest! This year is an extravaganza with 15+ participating storefronts with many designs by local artists – it’s a fun way to get into the spirit whilst supporting local business and artists.
Artists Ella Mazur (@eecmazurart), Erin McCluskey (@mcclusk), Sherrill Tucker (@MotherTuckerArtworks), and Talie Shalmon (@talshal_), have each created window displays with hand-drawn illustrations and decorative lights in participating storefront windows as part of this festive project!
