About this event THE RIVER WE HEAL WITH

Art exhibition & Benefit Concert July 2nd 2026 at the Miners Foundry

The River We Heal With is an art project by award winning visual artist Julie Romano. She brings together personal storytelling and the restorative energy of the natural world. At its heart, the project gathers intimate, transformative stories from individuals who have experienced the healing properties of the Yuba River’s waters.

The gallery opens at 5:30 PM, followed by an opportunity to join a panel conversation with Julie and participating storytellers. Come enjoy this exhibition, buy prints, and connect with the community.

The evening will continue with a benefit concert in honor of the Yuba River—an opportunity to give back to this vital and cherished part of our community. Talented local artists : Ayla Nereo, Marya Stark, Honey of the Heart, Child Mosey, Ruby Chase, Tete Bero, and Diamonde, will come together in celebration, raising funds for South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL). SYRCL is leading the effort to rehabilitate the lower Yuba River for salmon, steelhead, riparian habitat, and wildlife.
