Welcome to RCAS!

Where creativity thrives and community comes alive!

Founded in 1966 as Richardson’s first visual arts organization, RCAS has grown from a small circle of
passionate artists—both beginners and professionals—into a vibrant 501(c)(3) nonprofit that celebrates the power of
art to inspire, connect, and transform.
