There are a lot of reasons to join the RAF.
Like, it’s smart business, for example.

Join now and we’ll give you one free Addy entry. Again, smart.

Whether you’re a biggie ad agency, a boutique print shop, or a one-person freelancing studio, the RAF offers events, inspiration, and programs that will make you better at what you do. Not to mention networking opportunities that could very well put you in touch with your next star art director, deep-pocketed client, or award-winning photographer.

Some highlights of the RAF calendar include:

  • 20 Minutes & A Beer :: Every month or so, we feature a talk hosted by a local guru of a specific discipline. And once a year we bring in a national guru, for added inspiration.
  • Freelance events :: Events like the Freelance Expo are a great way to show off your book and get your name out.
  • Broadcast events
  • Special screenings at The Little Theater
  • Student events :: We love our students. Check out our Mentorship page to see just how much.
  • Creativity United :: The RAF partners with this AIGA initiative aimed at uniting our creative folk from around the world.
  • The Addy’s :: Better dust off your tie, this annual awards show is the Oscars of the Rochester ad community. (Get a free entry when you join the RAF.)

And now for some icing:
