RCAA’s
first major Art in Public Places project began in 2004 with the presentation
of Discovery, an 18-inch bronze statue, depicting the founding
fathers of Rockwall. This #1 of a Limited Edition of 25 was presented
to the City of Rockwall as part of the sesquicentennial celebration. The
Alliance is offering the remaining Limited Editions for sale, which will
help in raising funds for commissioning the life-size version of the bronze
to be displayed in the city for public enjoyment.
The annual RCAA Celebrity
Art Auction brings local celebrities and professional artists together
to produce and provide quality pieces of artwork in a variety of mediums
for this annual fundraiser. The artwork is to be auctioned to the highest
bidder and provides funding for art scholarships, grants to art related
organizations in the community and art program funding in local schools.
