“This is one of the most
amazing public spaces in Jacksonville.” – Dr. Wayne
Wood.

Some find it hard to believe, but this amazing public riverfront space beneath the Fuller Warren Bridge was originally scheduled to be a retention pond, surrounded by a chain-link fence, as the construction of the bridge began in the mid-1990s. Now, framed by its soaring neo-Gothic arches, the RAM site is a wondrous weather-protected environment that serves as parking during the week and an Arts Market on weekends. From the earliest stages of planning for the new bridge over 16 years ago, decisions were made to accommodate the Arts Market.  Wayne Wood, who originated the idea for the local market under the bridge, observes that “We got in on the ground floor. We got the funds committed to install electrical and water service for the artists, lighting, landscaping, restrooms, bike racks, and other amenities that make this space so enjoyable.” Architect Melody Bishop designed the site and is credited for its aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly qualities.

All-Weather Fun
Most art festivals and weekend markets exist in great uncertainty over the weather. If it rains, you must call it off. In the summer, when the sun beats down on both artists and visitors alike, the fun is diminished. Under the magnificent canopy of the Fuller Warren Bridge, the Riverside Arts Market is there every week, rain or shine. Protected from the rain and air-conditioned by the river breezes, RAM is the COOLEST place in town!  Enjoy being out of doors and beside our beautiful St. Johns River, while being immersed in the art and festivities that RAM will provide every weekend from April until December. Here are some of the features you will enjoy at RAM:
