PURPOSE:
To support the Rocklin community with art activities and exhibits, encourage the participation of Rocklin
businesses, schools and artists in the community through exhibits, art demonstrations, lectures, and
workshops, and to support local artists, art in public places and art shows.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
I want to congratulate all of those who participated in the Woofstock Show "Animal Kingdom". I thought
the art show was truly amazing with a wide range of talent. It was very impressive...I also want to thank
all of you who helped in setting up the show and making it look so great! It was a lot of work for this
particular event. It was the first time we have had a show in the Community Room in a long time - first
time with multiple "artist's marketplace tables" - first time with this type of event. I know it didn't have
the draw or successes that we were hoping for, but it was an incredible effort to support the City of
Rocklin and bring art as another valuable piece of the day's activities. I would really like to hear from
those of you who did participate, your ideas on how we, as Rocklin Fine Arts, can draw in more clientele
to our shows. It's important that we do the marketing and social media for all our efforts of setting up
these events. I know the City would be as interested in these ideas as the board for RFA. Again, this is
OUR organization, so let's work together to make it meet the needs of our members.
We have our Annual Member show coming up in October - so WE NEED YOUR INPUT! Also get ready
to bring your best work! Remember this time it will be People's Choice!
Don't forget the nominations are coming up pretty quick! If you would like to be a member of the board
please put your name in! It really does take us all to make RFA be successful - and you will have all of us
who have served on the board in the past years to rely on! We can all find a few spare hours a month to
help out!
Keep painting and keep learning!
Thank you all again for your support at Woofstock - as your president and a fellow artist, I truly
appreciate all you do!
Your Prez –
Gini Crepps

them both! In the meantime, we’d hate to lose that venue...Is anybody in the group willing to
step up and take this over? Helen has said she has all the information and it is not complicated
at all to work with the librarian. This is important to RFA to honor these commitments. Please

CALL TO ARTISTS:
 Connie Rodriguez wants to put on a 2 day RFA open studio and art tour at the end of April next year.
It will be called, 'Art, Play, Love' Art Tour. She would like to know how many of us would be
interested in having their studios open for the event...and if there are some who could pair up. The
community center will host some artists but not all. It should be a great weekend to have it as there
will be other studio tours in the area. Contact Connie at connierod22@gmail.com
 Sacramento Fine Arts has several upcoming shows…enter your work! Their link, for more info, is
http://sacfinearts.org/exhibitionEntryForms.html See their website for more info.
 Art League of Lincoln has many “Call to Artists” offerings. For opportunities check out their website
at http://www.all4art.net/
 The All American Arts & Craft Fair takes place on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at McBean
Pavilion in Lincoln's McBean Park, 65 McBean Dr. This fair is scheduled to replace thier former
event held at Orchard Creek Lodge. The event is now open to all artists and craft persons throughout
our community as well as donating booth space to our student population to encourage their interest in
the arts. Moving the event also allowed promoters to lower booth fees. They hope the public will
support the new venue and that all the participating vendors/artists will be successful. Details
regarding the previous SCLH Fair have nothing to do with the formation of the All American Fair
other than to give local artists and crafters a wonderful venue to showcase their products and to allow
the public a fun and fabulous day of holiday shopping! Please spread the word and come out on
November 15th to support the All American Arts & Craft Fair and your favorite artists/crafters.
They can be reached at allamericanartsandcraftsfair@yahoo.com or allamericanfair@yahoo.com
