RPAC Art Center and Academy is thrilled to announce that it has finished relocating to 410 Main Street in Ridgefield, Connecticut, combining resources with the former RPAC Gallery space. This move has united the two entities whose mission is to foster artistic talent, elevate artistic development, and provide a dynamic platform to showcase the incredible work of its talented artists.
Renovations have concluded and will be open for the public to see for the first time at its Grand Opening on August 15th from from 2-8pm!
The decision to merge locations with RPAC Gallery aligns with founder Dee Dee Colabella’s commitment to creating an enriching environment that offers fertile ground for artists to grow.
“By honing resources and expertise, I believe this new combined-use space will enhance the overall experience for artists and art enthusiasts alike”, says Ms. Colabella. “The street-level access and vibrant space invites curiosity and shines a light on our welcoming creative community,” she adds.
The new model promises an array of benefits for artists, including opportunities for expanded opportunities, project collaboration, and increased visibility. The integration of the instructional and workspaces will not only strengthen the artistic offerings but also augment the cultural vibrancy of RPAC, through:
● A shared, collaborative community workspace
● Artist-led classes
● Instructor-led independent study you can schedule
● Membership-based programming and events
● A variety of artwork for purchase
● Community engagement
As RPAC embarks on this exciting new journey, the Art Center and Academy eagerly anticipates a future marked by sustained growth, heightened creativity, and a deepening, collective devotion to the arts. The 410 Main Street location will be a creative hub that fosters an atmosphere where artistic expression flourishes.
