About Us

The Rim Country Artists' (RCA) mission is to serve community by promoting creativity through the arts.

History of our non-profit

The Payson Art League was formed as a non-profit in 1979. Rebranded as Rim Country Artists (RCA) in 2021, we are committed to our mission to serve the community by promoting creativity through all the arts. Awarded the 2024 Non-Profit of the Year by the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, we are building steadily to our goal of eventually having a Cultural Center in Payson.
