Art, at its truest, most basic form, is about evoking emotion, thought, and conversation. It is about telling a story in a poignant way, or encouraging the viewer to find new perspective. While some seek out a creative outlet all on their own, others are not so quick to do so. The Rosenberg Arts Alliance (RAA) is a non-profit organization committed to growing the arts community in Rosenberg and spreading the benefits of creative freedom and expression to those who may not normally seek it out themselves.

In 2015 the Rosenberg Arts Alliance engaged in a public art campaign. Businesses and citizens were encouraged to purchase benches and commission artists to turn the benches into public art. The group’s mission is to fill the streets of downtown Rosenberg with benches reflecting different styles, backgrounds, and points of view. The RAA aggressively sought out funding support, and was awarded a $2,250 grant from the Anice Read Fund for Communities Foundation through the Texas Downtown Association.
