Look for Redd and Buy Art
Once you find and talk to Redd, he will offer to sell you a piece of art. At first, he will sell it to you at a ridiculous price. Keep talking to him to get a Cousin's Discount, lowering the price to 4,980 Bells.
Donate the Work of Art to the Museum
Donate the art you bought to Blathers at the Museum.
Talk to Redd on the Day the Museum Is Upgraded
It will be announced that the Museum has expanded to have an Art Gallery. You will also be warned of fake art circulating.
You can find Redd walking around your island so he can finally invite you to his Treasure Trawler!
How to Find Redd
Once unlocked, finding Redd on your island can be a bit difficult! Here are some places you can find him.
Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler
Once you donate Redd's art to the museum, Redd and his Treasure Trawler will become regular visitors on your island!
He will visit randomly once every two weeks, so check for his ship on the secret beach at the back of your island.

Harv's Plaza
Redd has also set up shop in Harv's Plaza on Harv's Island as of the 2.0 Update! He sells less items here, but you don't have to wait for him to show up on your island.
Redd's Raffle
You can also find him during the Fireworks Show event in August! Find him at the plaza where you can join his raffle win exclusive prizes, like fireworks, toys, and food items.
Why Isn't Redd Showing Up? (Troubleshooting)
Update Your Game
Redd was introduced back in the Ver.1.2.0 update, so keep your game updated with the latest version!
Wait for Isabelle's Announcement
As of Version 2.0, Isabelle will let you know when special characters visit your island. There's a chance he can visit every week, but if not then he should be guaranteed to show up within two weeks at most.
