ART MATTERS
We are continuing to feel the gratitude at AVA as we wrap up the 24th Annual Art Matters Fundraiser!
In January 2026, we were honored to have artists, patrons, business sponsors, local dancers and many art appreciators bring the color to our community during AVA’s Annual Auction Fundraiser.
28 Original Artworks purchased
24 National Artists directly supported
53 Donations directly supporting AVA's 2026 Projects
22 Original Vases made by YES House, B.O.C.E.S. and Friends of AVA purchased
$66K raised to directly support AVA Community Art Center
This continued support from Northeast Wyoming directly sustains AVA Community Art Center’s operations, including public art programs for adults and youth, vibrant monthly exhibitions featuring art from across the country, a unique and professional ceramics studio utilized by dozens of regional potters, and partner programs with clients of YES House, B.O.C.E.S., the homeschool community, and many more.
Thank you Gillette for your investment and belief that ART MATTERS!
