BOOKING ART AT RED ROCK COFFEE:
If you’re a visual artist, we want to show your art! We show collage, paintings, and photography. We like to keep it family-friendly. Also, we receive a lot submissions from nature photographers, and so tend to prefer some of the more unique pieces. We have to turn a lot of these submissions down.
Art on our walls usually sells for about $100-200 per piece. We don’t do any of the work of sales here, and we don’t ask for a percentage of any sales, but you’re always welcome to make a donation. If you sell your work for more than $200, you may consider Red Rock a fun way to expose your work to a new audience rather than a sales opportunity.
If you’d like to show your work at Red Rock, please fill out the form. Please be patient, though. We receive a lot of requests, and it may take a while for us to get back to you.

Nothing should hang lower than shoulder height so people don’t brush it when walking by.
