The
third AHA!
Fall River featured over 50 events at multiple venues in downtown
Fall River on a cold but comfortable December 18, 2014 evening. The events
are designed to help foster an invigorated arts and culture scene in the City.
"It's great for economic development; it's great for arts and
culture; it's a family-friendly event," stated Dave Dennis, who, along with
his wife, Sandy Dennis, and Donna Winn, organized
the event. AHA! Fall River was formed in June 2013 in collaboration with
the New Bedford AHA! and the Community
Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts. AHA! stands for arts,
history and architecture. The organization held its first
event on June 21, 2013 and has held several events since then in an
attempt to mirror the AHA! events in New Bedford. The purpose of the
organization is to develop collaborative relationships in order to expand
and sustain arts and cultural programming in the two cities. Click
