Rossetti Foundation for the Arts and Culture
"Building a more robust and diverse community for the arts"
What we are passionate about
in a nutshell
A Kaleidoscope of Artistic Expression
Our programs stand as a testament to inclusivity and diversity, uniting under the encompassing umbrella of the five pillars of art. These pillars encompass Literature, Visual Arts, Graphic Arts, Performing Arts, Music, and Architecture. Embracing innovation, we extend our canvas to the Culinary Arts, weaving a rich tapestry that celebrates creativity in its multifaceted glory. At RFAC, we beckon art enthusiasts and charitable organizations to partake in a journey where every stroke of imagination contributes to the symphony of life.
A Canvas of Community-Driven Artistry
Bound by a shared passion for creativity, we ardently champion the arts through community events and art programs that resonate with our community’s essence. Guided by skilled directors, each nurturing a unique art pillar, we cultivate an immersive and interactive artistic haven. Our Immersive Art Project (IAP), an extension of the Art Education Program (AEP), invites underrepresented artists to pour their souls into original works that span myriad forms.
Igniting Artistic Passion and Community Engagement

The Stats
Analysis shows that while the total economic value added by arts and cultural industries grew by 13.7 percent from 2020-2021, several core arts industries did not return to pre-pandemic production levels. This group includes independent artists (as an industry), performing arts organizations (e.g., theater, dance, and opera companies, music groups; and circuses), and arts-related construction, among many others. Despite setbacks for those industries, the overall arts economy in 2021 represented 4.4 percent of GDP, or just over $1.0 trillion—a new high-water mark.
Research into the value and impact of the arts and music programs is a core function.
