A Busy June 14!

The RMAA has a jam-packed day for you planned in June 14th!

Aside from our fantastic members’ exhibition, there are two music events, one combining music and art!

First, flautist Carla Auld joins us for music and sketching (photography is allowed too!).

Later in the day, Big Frank & Mike Smith with the North Jersey Blues Society play the blues from Chicago to Delta.

Both of these events are FREE, with donations to help us continue our programming graciously accepted.

All the details are on the flyers below – any questions, contact us – and as always, follow us on Social Media for the latest updates.

We hope to see you!
