Because our Art Center East (ACE) Gallery is staffed by volunteers, you will need to SIGN UP to Gallery Sit, (Open Studio) once for each time you bring art to a venue, or up to four times per year. After that, you may volunteer more if you like.

Open Studio is held on Fridays and Saturdays during Open Gallery hours, (Fri. 10:00 - 1:00 and Sat. 10:00 - 4:00). Bring your art supplies when you Gallery Sit and invite fellow members for some creative independent studio time while you help maintain our open gallery. Watch the Calendar for additional Open Studio time during the week when the Gallery is closed.

All quarterly Gallery Sitters are eligible for free Guerrilla Workshops which are offered once a Quarter and are taught by RFAA instructors. Classes cover a variety of genres and are short (three hours) and richly informative. Sign-up is required. See Newsletter, Facebook and e-blasts for details.

    RFAA is housed in the Arts Center East (ACE) facility at 9100 Fouts Road, Roswell, GA 30076, a property
    owned by the City of Roswell. As an affiliate of the City of Roswell Recreation and Parks Department,
    RFAA reaches out to artists in Roswell and surrounding communities, and contributes to the growth of
    the arts. The ACE Gallery is open to the public on weekends, with art shows changing every 2 to 3
    months. We have no staff. All our efforts rely on volunteer participation by our members.


  • Open Studio takes place at the ACE Gallery, regardless of which venue is currently showing your work.
    Volunteers staff the ACE Gallery for a 3-hour session.
    Fridays: One session 10 AM to 1 PM
    Saturdays: First session 10 AM to 1PM; second session 1PM to 4PM
    TWO VOLUNTEERS MINIMUM REQUIRED FOR EACH SESSION
    - For security reasons RFAA requires at least 2 people at each Gallery Session. Other Park related
    activities use the building, but no one except RFAA is responsible for keeping the gallery open.
    - Use your time to create art, greet any visitors and encourage them to view the art on display.
    - Remind potential buyers that all the art is for sale.
    - Offer a membership application brochure to visitors and encourage them to join us.


  • Please use Sign-Up Genius (below) as follows:
    1. Type your name for the day and session you choose.
    2. Below your name, state the show/venue you are volunteering time for.
    3. Make a note on your own calendar of your committed time and date.
    NOTE: Your minimum volunteer contribution to RFAA is to attend one Gallery session per year. Each
    show at each venue requires you to volunteer for additional sessions. When you bring art to a show,
    come prepared to tell the Venue Chair what day and time you have signed up to volunteer at the ACE
    gallery for that particular show.


  • 1. Earn points towards receiving a prize, by remembering to sign the volunteer points book in the lobby,
    AND

    WHAT IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND YOUR SESSION?
     We understand that last-minute things can alter your availability.
     YOU are required to find your own substitute. Ask someone scheduled on the Sign-Up Genius
    calendar to swap dates with you, or call an RFAA friend to take your place.
     You will receive an automatic reminder the week of your scheduled gallery sitting date, along
    with a list of several members willing to sit at short notice. If one of them substitutes for you,
    you are required to reschedule another date to replace the time you could not be there
     The Schedule Coordinator for Gallery/Open Studio is not responsible for finding a substitute, but
    as a last resort, the Coordinator may be able to further assist you
