TRA: People for Art. Art for People.

Making connections is crucial in the art world. Many of our members are from all walks of life: art professionals, teachers, students and more. TRA was founded by forty enthusiasts in 1956 dedicated to the creation, exhibition and sale of art and to provide a variety of educational opportunities to the community.

Join an organization where you mingle with your fellow artist and become part of an honest effort to improve the cultural climate within your community. How else are we going to spread great ideas and art if not together? Welcome to our growing family. 

For 2023, we are experimenting with Monthly virtual demonstrations, generally the second Tuesday of the month at 7PM. All are welcome to attend. We will hold periodic in person receptions for our exhibits on selected Friday evenings. Check the calendar for dats.

Board Meetings are the third Thursday of the month, unless otherwise noted. Please contact us if you are interested in coming to the board meeting. 

Special Note: TRA, like many other art organizations, has been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.Current and new members, please consider, making an additional donation with your membership so that we may continue to thrive as your local arts organization.

You may select one of the given options or make a custom donation amount. Thank you so much and thank you for joining TRA.
