Confluence river, arts, music and so much more opening in Cramerton

Updated: Aug 14, 2023


Introducing Confluence a gathering space where visitors can "come in off of the river, grab a beer, and be able to buy a t-shirt, or grab a piece of art created by a local artist.



On November 4th - 5th 2022 the town of Cramerton and the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation will celebrate the grand opening of Confluence to a downtown storefront. The grand opening event will include live music and yoga. Click the button below for more information.


 

Confluence will promote Gaston County's arts community, the health of the South Fork River, and Cramerton's outdoor recreation opportunities.



ART

Art is the convergence where inspiration, creativity, and talent combine to give life to beauty. It has the power to create social and cultural bonds within communities. Our goal is to support the lives of those who use their proximity to the Catawba River as their inspiration for the creation of art pieces, as well as enrich the lives of those living along the river by providing them access to affordable, local artwork.




MUSIC

Music is the ultimate confluence where a plethora of notes come together to create magic. It is the soul of a place, bringing people together to experience joy or sadness, to toe-tap together in sync to a blazing beat, or lean shoulder to shoulder and sing along to a melody from a bygone era. Our goal is to support and showcase local musicians while giving the community a central gathering spot to grab a drink, make new friends, and listen to good music.



FUN

Life on the river is about more than just watersports. It’s about movement, about getting your heart to pump a little bit faster, about acknowledging the air filling your lungs. It’s appreciating being surrounded by nature and feeling connected to the earth beneath you and the water around you. Our goal is to help you bring movement and fun into your outdoor recreation journey. Even if that includes a fishing pole, a competitive game of disc golf, a lazy game of cornhole, or a kayak trip down the South Fork.


This is where all of our favorite things converge

A confluence is the junction where two rivers come together, where multiple things merge. Confluence is a place where art, music, and recreation come together alongside the river to create that place of convergence for the community. Confluence is a place where neighbors and friends can meet to learn, grow, create, move, and find joy, together.
