Payson Days is a lively annual event celebrating the Town of Payson with exciting live

performances, a variety of food and vendors, and a stunning fireworks display. It's a

perfect opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy the local talent and

festive atmosphere. RCA will have three artists booths at this event. Saturday, October

11th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Green Valley Park.

As we have explained before, in the fall of 2025, RCA will try a new fundraising venture with a company called ‘Flower Power.’ We are going to try their ‘Premium Holiday Program,’ which starts on October 18, 2025. This program consist of selling real live Amaryllis and Paperwhite bulbs. Some have asked where Flower Power get their bulbs. Their Spring and Fall bulbs come from Holland. Their Amaryllis mostly come from Israel and some from Brazil. Come early fall, we will ask all RCA members to start emailing all their friends, family members, & co-workers, to tell them about our goal and how to purchase. More to come!

• 1: Please submit  3-18 high quality photos (JPG images, not PDFs), including a photo of the artist if desired. Please crop the artwork photos to include just the piece and/or frame. Take the photo straight on, in good lighting, and avoid glares from glass, or too bright of light and/or shadows. 

• 2: Photos should be 72-100 dpi, and at least 9"x9" which would translate to 900 dpi x900 dpi. Do not send higher resolution photos, or thumbnails (very small photos). Even if using a dpi converter, those programs won't be able to compensate for too small of images. Certain online  programs and features on your smart phone should be able to shrink down hi res images.

• 3: Artist Statement and/or Bio. I'm not picky about the number of words, but it should be in a copyable (editing feature enabled) Word or Pages document (Do not send PDF's). 

• 4: Any links to websites, online shops, social media accounts, or physical galleries or shops carrying their work, as well as Artist Contact information (phone number/email if desired~not required). 

• 5: Please let us know if you would also like to have your artist page featured on RCA's social media with a link to your RCA artist page.

Submissions can be emailed to emily.e.kraemer@gmail.com. Please give RCA two weeks to process and update our website and social media.
