Happy New Year to our artists and supporters. As we come into the new year, we are heeding public health advice, and coordinating with Ringwood Manor Park for 2021 activities and will keep our exhibitors advised. Keep an eye on your email and our Facebook page for news.

We miss seeing new artwork at the gallery (and the artists who create it). So to get our dose of local artwork, we’re having an online contest.

Submission Rules:

We are running the contest on our Facebook page HERE or email a copy of your artwork to RMAAentries(at)gmail.com.

Our favorite will receive a Winsor & Newton professional watercolor set (12 tubes).

The entry with the most Facebook likes/loves will receive a $25 gift card to Jerry’s Artarama.

All RMAA decisions are final.

You don’t have to be an RMAA member to enter. However, many of our fixed expenses continue even though we can not open the gallery. Any membership payments or donations would be greatly appreciated!
