The Rio Rancho Art Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of lives through the arts. RRAA's mission is the cultural and educational enrichment of the community. By providing opportunities for artists of all media and the public to collectively participate in fine art events, our aim is to establish Rio Rancho and Sandoval County as a vital element in the cultural community of New Mexico.
OUTREACH PROGRAMS:
RRAA volunteers work with other organizations to help them raise funds and increase services. This is done through donations of original art, joint program sponsorship or other creative means. A major part of our outreach is member artists teaching children. Some of these organizations are: A New Day, Rio Rancho Public Schools, Albuquerque Public School System Foundation, Namaste, Coronado State Monument Foundation, the Rio Rancho Community Foundation, and the Rio Rancho Library System.
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM:
This program is the financial arm of our outreach program, designed to aid the arts through scholarship and other means. As of August of 2009 efforts are being made to expand this program into its own seperate entity.
VENUES & EXHIBITIONS FOR ARTISTS:
RRAA provides a variety of rotational and special venues for artists, as well as promoting their art, art shows or classes they offer.
MONTHLY ART RELATED PROGRAMS
Each monthly meeting includes an art related presentation. Past programs have included critiques, marketing art, demonstrations, and copyright law.
ANNUAL RRAA STUDIO EXHIBITION
The highlight of the year is the annual Rio Rancho Studio tour where member artists throughout Rio Rancho open their studios to promote art and the city.
