A free, open community creative center where musicians, artists, and dreamers of all varieties come together to learn, create, and support each other. Rockafairy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources for creative growth.
Rockafairy is a gathering place where artists and creatives come together, fostering belonging and shared passion across the Rogue Valley.
We believe in the power of artistic expression to unite people. Ideas being exchanged means inspiration being ignited.
We aim to provide anyone with a drive to create the tools they need to do it. Lack of funds, space, and support hold back countless talented people, and we change that.
We champion the importance of arts and culture in society, supporting artists' growth and celebrating the life-changing potential of creativity.
Whether it's your first time picking up an instrument or you're a seasoned artist seeking space — we have something for you.
Try any instrument in our collection on-site. Members can check instruments out to take home.
Supplies, workspace, and an art salon every Tuesday afternoon. Painting, sculpture, sewing, embroidery, and more. Create freely in a welcoming space.
We offer a large, well-equipped space for performances, parties, and community events.
Book a private room or our main stage to rehearse without limits.
Drop in any time! Our ongoing programming is open and free for everyone.
Take the stage or just come to listen. Music, poetry, dance, comedy, and more! All genres, all skill levels, family friendly! It's a beloved weekly tradition for the whole community.
Art class for all levels followed by a relaxed gathering for visual artists. Bring your project or start something new — use our supplies, connect with other artists, and share feedback and community!
The space is open all week. Walk in, pick up an instrument, find a workspace, meet other creatives. No appointment needed.
We collaborate with the Maslow Project, Hearts with a Mission, local halfway houses, organizations for youth and adults with disabilities, and more to serve everyone who needs art in their lives.
Rockafairy started during the pandemic when founder Shane Ross come across a few instruments he didn't need anymore. Inspired by a Christmas gift drive, he began donating them to young musicians in need, partnering with Tom's Guitars in Medford to give them away.
What began with a couple of guitars grew to hundreds of instruments and accessories. So Shane leased a building, then another, and with tremendous community support, Rockafairy became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Today we're at home in the Rogue Valley Mall — open seven days a week, free for all — because we believe creative expression is a human need, not a luxury.
Shane Ross is gifted a few instruments during the pandemic and begins donating them to young musicians via Tom's Guitars, Medford.
Hundreds of donations later, Rockafairy leases its first commercial space in downtown Medford and opens its doors to the community.
With incredible community support, Rockafairy earns 501(c)(3) status as a public benefit nonprofit serving the Rogue Valley.
Rockafairy moves to its current home at 1600 N. Riverside Ave., Medford — a bigger space for a growing creative community.
Rockafairy runs on community love. Here are the best ways to support what we do.
Become a mentor, help with events, or offer your skills: music, arts, organization, maintenance, or simply showing up with a smile.
Have an instrument or art supplies collecting dust? Donate it and watch it change someone's life. We welcome all kinds of creative gear.
Follow us, share our story, and help connect more people in the Rogue Valley with their creative community center.
Every dollar goes directly toward keeping our doors open, funding sponsored memberships for youth, and growing our programs for the community.
We're on the ground level of the mall across from Rue 21 (Entrance 1). Just walk in, explore, and get to creating!
