AVA's 19th Annual Art Auction & Fundraiser
January 5th - 29th, 2021
Due to COVID 19, the 19th Annual ART Matters Gala will take place online on January 29th, 2021 at 6pm.
Join in via Facebook or Youtube for a unique viewing experience as we reflect on this year's exceptional ART Matters Exhibition featuring 45 individual artworks produced by 27 regional artists!
AVA's Virtual Gala is an opportunity to hear from participating artists as they discuss the work they are showing in this exhibit. We will check in with our guest jurors, Elaine O'Henry and Mary Jane Edwards as they chat with us about putting this show together and their selection process when looking at this year's submissions. Experience a deep dive into the artwork and hear from your neighbors as we invite community members and supporters of AVA to talk about Why Art Matters!
Friends of AVA, we want to hear from you!
Send us a note about Why Art Matters to you and our community for a chance to be featured in AVA's first Virtual Gala and to win a $50 gift certificate to an AVA program!
AVA's Virtual Auction will close at 8pm on Friday, Jan. 29th; don't miss your chance to get registered and bid on your favorite artworks!

How does AVA make an Impact?
AVA’s Staff and Executive Board support this vision with three pillars of creative impact in mind:
INSPIRE artists of all ages to experience art. Whether it be for the first time or continued expression, AVA strives to inspire growth and further the creative opportunities in our community.
CONNECT AVA works to connect Artists with opportunities to continue to learn, grow, and market their art throughout Wyoming and other regional areas surrounding our state.
AVA partners with numerous organizations within our community; providing programming, art awareness and sharing visual arts opportunities.
We strive to connect with citizens in our community who may not have access to art programs. AVA is fortunate to include Campbell County Suicide Prevention, The YES House, Climb Wyoming, & BOCES, Gillette College, Campbell County School District as our art partners in the region.
CREATE a space for artists of all ages to further explore creative expression of the visual arts in various workshops. AVA provides professional development opportunities, a formal exhibit space, and a member-based Artisan Market for artists to market and sell their artwork.
