All About Rim Country Artists

Our mission is to promote all the Arts in Rim Country – through exhibition and performance, community involvement, education, and collaboration .

Exhibition and performance includes fine art, photography, music, poetry, theatre and dance 

Community Involvement includes: public art, networking, and partnering opportunities between non-profits, businesses and artists 

Art Education, including workshops, mentor artists, projects built by artists, students and teachers, and professional development 

Collaboration to  foster partnerships with art projects, shows, towns, and businesses to increase the health and prosperity of Rim Country, and to build an Arts Center.

Rim Country Artists wants to be a landing spot, and a placemaker for advancing the finer arts throughout the Rim Country. Payson, AZ is a central hub, (just an hour north of Scottsdale, AZ), but our members and our outreach extend far beyond, past Pine, Star Valley, Heber,and hopefully even Rim towns like Showlow, Snowflake, and Holbrook...As folks from all over the Southwest migrate to the rural mountain towns of Arizona, Payson ,and its outlying areas, are primed and ready to foster an inclusive, inspiring environment for artists and art connoisseurs alike. Join our venture! Help us cultivate a modern art movement that cherishes and preserves the fine representational art and history from our past, while providing a venue and creative space for a new movement of fine artists that want to influence our culture through many different cutting-edge mediums, including: 2D, 3D, painting, fabric, jewelry, sculpture, ceramic, music, theatre, dance, culinary, and beyond. 

We can't do any of this without you. We need high-caliber artists. We need volunteers. We need community and business-minded individuals to see our vision and help us integrate the arts into our already amazing heritage, our exciting, evolving culture, encompassed by our Northern Arizona identity. We have so much potential! Be a part of the journey! Contact us for opportunities.
