“The Redlands Art Association (RAA) is a 501c3 organization that was founded in 1964 to encourage and support the visual arts in the City of Redlands and neighboring communities. It is an all-volunteer organization encouraging membership not only of artists, but people who appreciate and support the arts. We offer Classes and Programs to the public and encourage and support one of the largest Fine Arts Galleries in the Inland Empire open to the public free of charge.”
From the President's Corner
Despite the many rainy days, spring does seem to be in the air. At RAA, springs brings so many exciting events. The Multi Media Mini Show and this month provides the opportunity for all California artists to enter, and wait with baited breath to find out whether of not their mini-art has been accepted. Drives us crazy every year, doesn't it? Yes, the MMM Show is very competitive, but that's part of the fun of it--when your work makes it, you can be justly proud.
