The Association for Visual Arts (AVA) is excited to announce this year’s Annual Juried Member Show.
This multi-media exhibition is AVA’s longest running tradition. This year, each of the artists who juried into the show will display cohesive collections of three recent works, granting visitors a more in depth look into their respective practices.
The artist who is awarded “Best in Show” will be granted a solo exhibition at AVA in Fall 2027 and go on to serve as a juror for next year’s show. Each juror was also invited to select an artist as their “Juror’s Choice," guaranteeing that artist inclusion in the show, regardless of how they scored.
These three artists will then be granted a group show together at AVA in conjunction with the next solo show. Awards will be announced at the opening reception.
