Focus on Film - As Art, On Art
In our 40th anniversary year, AVA is pleased to pay homage to the media of film as an integral part of the visual arts.

To enhance the experience, each screening will be paired with a talk or panel discussion.

Call for Art: Norris Cotton Cancer Center
The Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center has issued a call for art for an exhibit to be hung in the Norris Cotton Cancer Centers in Lebanon, Manchester, and Nashua. The exhibit is based on the belief that art contributes to and reinforces the healing process for patients who have been diagnosed with and are receiving treatment for cancer. Art provides a therapeutic refuge for those in need of finding perspective on what is happening in their lives, and this exhibit is intended to offer enlightenment and encouragement to patients, families, and staff of the Cancer Centers. This exhibit will be hung for four months at the Centers. Click here for complete entry details.

Since 1998, Visual AIDS has produced the annual Postcards From The Edge exhibition and benefit sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established and emerging artists.
