In addition to coming to enjoy the show while it’s on display this month, we invite everyone to take part in our People’s Choice Award voting, now open until our luncheon on Monday, January 26th. This is a great opportunity for the community to support their favorite artist or entry and be part of the show beyond opening night. One lucky voter will win a gift certificate to the Gallery in our drawing.
We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our reception sponsor, Aligned CPA, whose generous support helps make events like this possible.
Our Member Art Show is held every January and remains a cornerstone of our annual programming. Thank you to all of our participating artists, attendees, and supporters who help make this show a meaningful celebration of art and community.
