W.H.A.M.
Every March, during Women’s History Month, Goddard Riverside’s Community Arts program hosts an exciting month-long arts festival celebrating female artists and perspectives.

Book Prize Chats
The Book Prize celebrates the power of the written word to create change in the name of justice for all people—a value shared by Goddard Riverside and our longtime partners in the publishing community.

Every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, volunteers gather at 593 Columbus Avenue to cook and serve more than a thousand holiday meals.

The Musical Evenings concert series is held in private homes. Professional classical musicians perform live to support Goddard’s programs and services. Following the concert is a reception. These events are invitation-only. Please contact us for more information.
