PATRONS: There are many opportunities to purchase art through RFAA. Along with our Gallery on Fouts, we have multiple outside Shows and Venues displaying unique original art in a variety of media, styles and subject matter. Attractive pricing makes our shows and venues ideal places to find works for your home and gifts for all occasions.

ARTISTS: Most of our Venues receive a commission for sales at their locations. RFAA takes a commission at each site where we show our work. Sales at the Gallery are made by Gallery Sitters or the Artist. In order to participate in any RFAA show, members must sign up to Gallery sit for one three hour session per show, until four sessions have been reached.

RFAA has four or five different shows at our Gallery on Fouts Road each year. You’ll find a number of different media in numerous sizes and styles.
