Where is Redd in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

While Redd is an island visitor that comes and goes — similar to the likes of Gulliver and Sahara — you’ll need to trigger his Animal Crossing: New Horizons appearance manually. It can be argued that Redd is the most important of all the game’s island visitors, what with him being central to collecting paintings, sculptures, and other antiquities to display in the museum’s new art gallery.
