Opening tonight 5:30 to 8:00!

The Archives has Expanded!

The building that AAWR has shared for the past twenty-four years with The Sculpture Center will soon be occupied solely by the Artists Archives. AAWR is extremely excited about the prospect of more than doubling its home gallery space, and its capacity to showcase its collection, which now numbers close to 10,000 works by 100 artists. To celebrate on September 8, we are presenting two solo inaugural Archived Artists exhibitions simultaneously in separate gallery spaces. Creative Impulse: Archived Artist Dale Goode, and Terry Klausman, A Retospective, will both open on the same night and each artist will be attending his reception. While some minimal construction will take place before the September exhibitions open to turn the current AAWR office into a gallery, when the AAWR closes down for its winter break in the rest of the construction to join all of the three gallery spaces together will be completed.
Join us tonight!
