Members Create: 2021 AVA Members Exhibition

October 9 - November 6, 2021

35 Member artists have come together for an exhibition highlighting the creative talents of AVA supporters.

AVA has been a federally recognized 501(c)3 organization since 1989 and with support from members and donors, we work to place the arts at the forefront of our community. We believe that the arts enrich our lives by fostering fellowship, strengthening connections, and sparking creativity and innovation. As a member-based organization, we work together to support the arts and the artists in our community.

Come celebrate our 32nd year and get to know our artists through their work. The pandemic has kept us from having many in-person events, but this show is like a party for our artwork—everybody hanging out in the gallery!

We’ll have extended hours on Fridays for this show—open until 6 pm. Stop by after work or on your way to dinner.
