Our Annual Shows
Every year we feature the following fine arts shows, which provide opportunities for our members, established artists, non professional artists, local junior high and high school students, and the community at large. Our commitment to these annual shows helps to achieve our mission “to enrich and educate our community through sharing and displaying fine arts in our gallery space . . .”
