Artists who have helped make the River Arts District trendy and hip fear they’ll be pushed out.

Some artists have already departed the district because renting space and/or selling their artwork has become too expensive. Reinan tries to answer if the district has become too upscale and what the future might hold. This feature originally aired on March 20, 2024. (avlwatchdog.org)
