Hello from River Clyde Arts!

Hello friends! We’re thrilled to share the new logo for River Clyde Arts and launch a rebrand for our organization.

Many of you know us as The River Clyde Pageant - the beloved, community-engaged summer performance that began in 2016. Since 2020, our season has grown to include Sharing the Field, our fall harvest festival, and the River Clyde Solstice Walk in December. With more than just the Pageant on offer, we needed a name to hold this larger scope of activities. 

River Clyde Arts honours our origins and connection to the river running through New Glasgow, and our growth into an organization that leads year-round, community-engaged programs that foster connection, creativity, and wonder. 

Our new logo, designed by our friends Jordan Beaulieu and Duncan Brooks of One Stone Studio, beautifully captures the spirit of River Clyde Arts. The three flags symbolize the festive, flowing nature of the community’s work, referencing fish tails, waves, and the New Glasgow landscape. The colours are inspired by the original Pageant image painted by Chris Wells in 2016. 

We’ve come a long way since we began planning the first Pageant in 2015. The photo of Megan, Emily and Ker on stilts was taken in June 2015, just as we were starting to promote the first Pageant, prior to its launch in 2016. The other photo is from Sharing the Field this past October, featuring the wonderful faces of people who have come to be a core part of our team.

As we head into our tenth year of making outdoor theatre in New Glasgow, we are looking forward to the future, and we are excited to continue to grow alongside our community.

We’d love to know what you think of the new look!
