Riverwest Artists Association (RAA) is a diverse collection of individuals who share the common belief that everyone should have the opportunity and support for expressing, experiencing, and sharing their ideas, visions, and talents. We seek to improve the area in which we live by collaborating our strengths, exploring our differences, and challenging ourselves to grow as individuals and as a community, through the arts.

RAA's mission is to educate the general public regarding the value of the visual arts in society, to advocate for visual arts for its members and the arts community, to provide professional and educational services for artists and the arts community, and to improve the environment in which artists live and work.
