In the summer of 2016, you could find RRAFA artists showing
in dozens of places around Spokane and the immediate area.
Many RRAFA artists show in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene galleries. RRAFA artists have also won local, national and international competitions.
This calendar year we have learned from two artists who have
both graced the covers of this magazine. Our March speaker
was Shana Smith, and Melissa Cole spoke in April. At our May
meeting, acclaimed muralist Todd Benson took us through his
career, and in June, it was Jesse Swanson, General Manager of
Hatch, Owner-operator at Magicraftsman Printing and Editor at Terra Obscura. Last fall we heard from marketing guru
Dean Cameron, Dean is also the publisher of Art Chowder.

During his talk in May, Todd Benson mentioned his first show
in Spokane. It was at the annual fall show put on by RRAFA,
that year held at the Spokane Club.
