Redd is a shady art dealer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons who sells both genuine and counterfeit artwork. Players can access his boat, which is located at the hidden beach on the northern end of their island, by first speaking to Blathers at the museum, who will mention that he's considering opening up a new wing for artwork. After that, players need to wait 24 hours for Redd to show up. When he does, players need to find him wandering around the island and buy a piece of art from him.
