A community space and bookshop for the literary arts.
Sitting along the riverbank at the entry to the majestic East Rosebud Canyon, River Arts & Books is a non-profit organization in rural Montana dedicated to promoting the arts through literature and cultural engagement. Our mission is to inspire creativity and nourish a love for reading, writing, and dialogue within our community.

Right now we’re fundraising for our 2026 Operating Budget.
All of our events and programming costs for 2025 are covered by a Humanities Montana grant, which we were so fortunate and grateful to receive. That grant no longer exists, as arts funding gets slashed nationwide. The need for River Arts & Books is paramount and evident when our space is filled with excited individuals and we continue to grow. We’re turning to our community for support. Can you help?
