The Narrows Center’s 14th Anniversary concert series begins on November 4th with the California Guitar Trio, captivating audiences with their technical genius and a unique combination of rock, jazz, classical, and world music.

The Narrows Center is celebrating fourteen years of music that matters and art that inspires with a four-day concert series you don’t want to miss. The Narrows Center for the Arts is a non-profit, charitable organization on a mission to present exciting ways to engage, entertain and unite its community. It is a fully accessible venue, comprised of two visual art galleries, a performance theater and visual artist studios. It is air-conditioned, with a BYOB policy and free parking.

Conveniently located on the scenic waterfront of Fall River, the Taunton River has become the beautiful backdrop for this region’s top entertainment destination.

Founded by a small group of volunteers, the Narrows began as an art gallery with a small performance space. While it has seen many changes and improvements, one thing remains: the invaluable role of its loyal volunteers and staff members, who keep the venue running smoothly on a daily basis.

Another vital component to the venue’s continuing success is the generosity of the Friends of the Narrows, a group of individuals who contribute a significant portion of funds that keep it operating. In turn, the venue rewards them with benefits, including reserved tables to any show of their choice.

Over the last fourteen years, the facility has held over 1,400 concerts, more than 100 art exhibitions, 14 festivals and hundreds of community events.

The music venue holds a capacity of 280 people, giving audience members an intimate and up-close view of their favorite musical artists, and often times the opportunity to meet and chat with them after the show.

The Narrows offers educational programming and dedicates approximately 10 hours a week to People Incorporated, an organization that provides services to people with developmental disabilities. These classes give the students an informative, hands-on experience in the subjects of music and art. It also provides the artists who rent these studio spaces an outlet to teach and share their deep passion for the arts.

The venue also holds school tours of its art exhibits, and hosts the free annual Narrows Festival of the Arts and the Block-a-Palooza. These festivals attract thousands of music fans each year, eager to enjoy an entire day of fine music, food and artistry.
