With the holidays and the Polar Vortex behind us, let's get back on track with some outstanding art and community gatherings!
There will be many special events at AVA in the next two weeks. Please join us this Friday, January 17, for the opening reception for our new exhibition; on Sunday, January 19, for a showing of Hand of Brick; and on Sunday, January 26, for a screening of Clifford West's film on Edvard Munch's paintings! Following the Munch film on the 26th, please consider having a beverage or a meal at Margarita's in Lebanon. The restaurant will be donating a percentage of the proceeds from your meal to AVA!
