AVA's 2012 Holiday Salon
On Display Through December 24
This year's Holiday Salon and Art Sale features concentrated, salon-style displays, including the work of artists long associated with AVA as well as those recently involved with our non-profit organization. Works in a variety of media -- oil, watercolor, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, ceramics, textile, sculpture, jewelry, and glass -- will be on display and available for sale in a wide range of prices. AVA's Holiday Salon offers not only a lively view of the state of the arts, but also the perfect occasion to acquire gifts of lasting value while also supporting local artists and AVA. Items may be taken as soon as they are purchased, and the exhibition will be replenished as work sells, so be sure to visit again and again!

Please Support AVA's Annual Fund!
Give Today!
First of all, we wish to express our warmest thanks to those who have already given so generously to AVA's Annual Fund.
There is still time to give, and we sincerely hope you will consider a gift to help support all that AVA does in your community to provide creative opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities. We encourage you to consider making a gift in honor of a special person or persons in your life. AVA will send a handwritten letter to your honoree(s), sharing the news of your generous gift. Distinct from membership, all donations to the Annual Fund provide important unrestricted support to our operating budget and programs; in fact, 88% of every contribution directly supports our inclusive art programming. We thank you in advance for your donation to AVA's Annual Fund!
