Neighboring RAM, The Cummer Museum, comprises among the finest art collections in the Southeast, with almost 5,000 items in its Permanent Collection and 2.5 acres of historic gardens along the St. Johns River. Free admission every first Saturday of the month. Walk a couple more blocks and you're going to run into 5 Points, a shopping district full of restaurants, Sun-Ray Cinema, and fantastic boutiques. Stroll a bit further and relish one of Riverside's treasured parks, Memorial Park. Originally slated for a retention pond, surrounded by a chain-link fencing, this unique events venue was the consequence of a 15-year campaign led by activist and Riverside Avondale Preservation creator Wayne Wood. His vision was to recapture this riverfront setting as a marketplace. The award-winning layout with light, landscaping and pathways was created by landscape architect Melody Bishop. On non-market times, the RAM location is used as Black Knight Financial's parking lot and during the week, the riverfront amphitheater is broadly utilized as a public park known as Northbank Riverwalk Artists' Square, which forms the terminus for the Northbank Riverwalk. The Riverside Arts Market is a Fantastic example of public/private venture with funding because of its infrastructure acquired from FDOT, the City of Jacksonville, JEA, JTA, and Fidelity National.
