ROSWELL FINE ARTS ALLIANCE (RFAA) ALLIANCE ART SHOWS

GENESIS
Each year the Alliance sponsors “Genesis”,  a juried art competition for members.  Held in late Fall, this show is juried and judged by one or more experts and money prizes are awarded for Best of Show, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes.  A number of ribbon prizes are awarded to Honorary Mention winners. 

The most recent show prospectus is shown as general information.

ANNUAL MEMBERS’ SHOW AND SALE
At least once each year a non-juried show is held for all members of RFAA.  This exhibit gives our emerging artists experience in showing their work to the public. 

Forms and Information for entering the 2012 Members Show

HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITION
For many years, the RFAA has joined the Roswell Visual Arts Center in sponsoring an exhibition and competition for North Fulton County High School students.  Coordinated through the art departments of the various schools, this show allows students selected by their teachers to enter an area-wide event.  Prizes are awarded to winners, with money scholarships as prizes for Best of Show and First Place.  The prize money is designated for continuing art education for the winner. Students show their best drawings, sculpture and paintings in this exciting collection of creativity. 

WORKSHOPS
In 2011 The RFAA sponsored a workshop by Golden Paint’s Phil Garrett.  New products were introduced and each participant was offered sample products.  Workshops are planned well in advance and are sometimes open to non-members.  Beginning in the Fall of 2012, a new schedule of workshops will be presented.

SOCIALS
RFAA sponsors social events throughout the year including a spring luncheon and a holiday party or luncheon in December.
