Elephant Art
About Riverdale Park Arts Council's Elephant Art Gallery
and support of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center
The Thai people who live at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) give up all worldly
life style to dedicate themselves to caring for the elephants that cannot roam free any more due
to human encroachment.
They are doing research on what does it take to make an elephant happy living on a preserve
and meeting their physical, mental and emotional needs.
Humans always thought elephants were smart but the research now shows them to be the most
intelligent animal along side the dolphin and highly super sensitive. Humans are still learning
about the pros & cons of measuring intelligence in humans so there is a whole new science on
the horizon regarding animals intelligence.
In order to help supplement the Thai villagers income, RPAC will be selling handmade Thai
greetings cards & stationery in the Gallery & every week at the Farmers Market as part of RPAC
fund raising.
Please help support this endeavor by buying their stationery paper for art work & scrapbooking &
Greetings cards from RPAC.

How to Get There

The Riverdale Park ArtsFest is held at the same location as the Riverdale Park Farmer's Market,
in our Historic Town Center,
right next to the Riverdale Train Station (on the MARC Camden Line).
This is at the corner of Queensbury Rd. & Rhode Island Ave.,
and is just three blocks from the intersection of
Route 1 (Baltimore Ave.) & MD-410 (East-West Highway). There is free parking in the parking
lots on both sides of the railroad tracks.

Riverdale Park is inside the Beltway on U.S. 1, a short drive from Washington DC (to the south) and
the University of Maryland - College Park campus (just to the north).
It is surrounded by the neighboring communities
of Hyattsville, University Park, College Park, Edmonston and Bladensburg.

The market is served by the F4 Metro bus, and "The Bus" route 14. It is one mile from both Prince George's Plaza
and College Park Metro stops on Metro's Green Line.
