The Roycrofters-at-Large Association is thrilled to announce a unique artist opportunity for its Roycroft Renaissance artists working in all mediums to showcase their work in a fine art setting. Submissions from active Roycroft Artisans and Masters, including retired in good standing and Masters Emeritus are accepted through Monday, October 23, 2026 through the Prospectus linked below, for Roycroft For a New Century: The Modern Masters.
This exhibition is staged as part of RALA50, the Roycrofters at Large 50th anniversary, a regional and national level programming calendar that celebrates the cultural contribution and legacy of the Roycroft Renaissance, founded in 1976 to restore and re-habitate the Roycroft Campus complex on South Grove in East Aurora.
Active Roycroft Renaissance Artisans and Masters are guaranteed one piece of work dated within 5 years in this landmark exhibition, and are encouraged to submit up to four pieces of work in mediums in which they hold an active mark. Decision to include multiple pieces is up to the discretion of the juror and space and venue size considerations. Pieces accepted must bear the RR mark and are committed to the Springville Center for the Arts through December 19, 2026.
This exhibition and RALA50 programming is made possible through generous support from Margaret L. Wendt Foundation, the Starks Family Trust, Robb Mair In Honor of Roycroft Master Suzanne Mair and the Aurora Historical Society.
Curator/Juror: Tami Fuller, Executive Director and Acting Chair of Exhibitions for the Roycrofters at Large Association.
