The Art and Life of Reverend Richard Moore
A program for you! Wednesday October 8, 2025, 6:30 pm at
Calvary Presbyterian Church
Join the Historical Society of Riverton and the Moore Family for a program celebrating the art and life of one of Riverton’s most gifted and prolific artists.
Many original paintings will be on display, most from private collections and shown for the first time.
A talented, self-taught painter working in watercolor and oils, Rev. Moore was best known for his maritime works and was elected president of the American Society of Marine Artists.
Learn the stories behind some of Reverend Moore’s best works and get to know the man who never stopped learning, painting and inspiring others.
He painted watercolors of many historic Riverton houses and public buildings which are cherished by Rivertonians today.
Riverton has had a remarkable wealth of fine artists active in our little town and your Historical Society has been collecting images and biographies of all we can identify. Here’s our entry for Rev. Moore.
Our whole collection starts on this Local Artists page (use the dropdown box at the top to choose the one you wish to see). If you know of an artist (living or not) who isn’t in that list, let us know!
We hope that you will join us for what should be a great evening of reminiscences and enjoyment of beautiful artwork on Wednesday October 8 at 6:30.
“Discovering and Retelling Riverton’s Stories”
