Ways to Support AVA

All gifts to AVA support the arts and the artists in our community through art-filled public events and partnerships that provide opportunities for monthly gallery exhibitions, enhanced arts education for area youth, artists’ and writers’ residencies, and the annual Astoria Open Studios Tour.

Memberships help AVA secure grants and other funding by providing evidence of community support.

Here are some of the benefits AVA members receive:

• Exhibit in the annual Members Showcase

• Reduced ticket prices for AVA events

• Discounts at local businesses, including:

  • Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro

  • Good Bowl

  • Imogen Gallery

  • LightBox Photographic Gallery

  • Old Town Framing

  • Sweet Relief

Art Sales are generously split with the individual artist, directly supporting their art and AVA’s ability to continue monthly gallery exhibitions.

We thank you for your generosity!
