By the River Center for Humanity

It is Our Mission to encourage and allow small business owners, artists and performers to promote their services to a larger market of consumers through our gallery, and retail gift shop and monthly open market events. It is also our mission to provide educational classes in business and offer to the public; presentations, workshops, exhibits, performances, demonstrations, documentaries, specialty tours and

interactive experiences.



The founders and supporters of By the River Center for Humanity are humble servants from all walks of life who had at one time or another made a personal commitment to serve humanity. We thank God for blessing us with both the space and opportunity to be of service to the citizens and visitors of the Selma – Dallas County area.

Our Motto: As extensions of God’s Perfect Love we believe that it is our responsibility as children of God to speak life; to speak words of love, hope, inspiration and wisdom to all of our Brothers and Sisters, to reach out in the spirit of love, to reach back with compassion and choose to see the Greatness of God not only in ourselves, but in all people.
