RHCFA is an art gallery, performance space, and art education center in Brooklyn. The project consists of a limestone and aluminum and glass pavilion added to an existing brick building that was also fully renovated. At the rear of the existing brick building an outdoor seating area faces a new indoor/outdoor stage.

Adjacent to the gallery is a theater. This space has a deep blue proscenium, which opens both inside, as well as out toward a landscaped area behind the building. The stage accommodates indoor as well as outdoor performances.

The lower level of RHCFA houses a high school for the arts. There is a dance studio, art classrooms, a library, a new computer graphics instruction laboratory, and a space for a neighborhood radio station.
