Summer is here, and AVA is buzzing with activities both inside our Carter-Kelsey building and out.

The opening reception for the 2015 Juried Summer Exhibition will be on Friday, July 24, concurrent with a closing reception for the Fearsome Foursome and the launch of Joaquin Andres' show on the third floor.

Summer camps are exceeding expectation, with engaging programs for ages 5-8, 9-12 and teens taking place throughout the building. This week we have robotics in the computer lab and printmaking in the basement; drawing, painting and photography on the 2nd floor; with additional creative performances and exhibitions spilling out of the children's studio.

Please join us and see the art in action!
