Creativity is everywhere in the Upper Valley, and it should be accessible to everyone!

We are excited to be part of the UV Arts For All initiative, powered by the Upper Valley Arts Alliance. Together as a collective of regional arts organizations, we are bringing free or low-cost arts offerings straight to our community.

Whether you’re looking for live theater, local music, gallery exhibitions, or hands-on workshops, there is something for everyone to explore. Support local artists and enjoy all the Upper Valley has to offer.

School is back in session, and so are afterschool classes at AVA! This fall, young artists can get hands-on in AVA’s working studios, explore new materials and tools, and build their creative skills along the way.

There’s still room to join us in several upcoming classes, including:

Designing Buildings: Inside & Out | Ages 9–12
Cars, Planes & Boats | Ages 6–8
3D Printing | Ages 9–12
Metalsmithing | Ages 9–12
Art of Play | Ages 6–8
The Young Potter | Ages 6–8

From clay and metal to architecture, imaginative play, and 3D printing, there are plenty of ways to keep creating after the school day ends.

Everyone's art collection starts somewhere. Why not by supporting Upper Valley artists?

If you've been thinking of investing in art, there's no better entry point than our Bank Street Gallery! You're also likely to find some gifts for friends and family while you shop. Visit our website to browse the current inventory of art in a variety of mediums: https://bit.ly/4gaOa3A

You can find many pieces in our Bank Street collection for under $100, but at AVA, we have something for collectors at any price point. Keep in mind, you can also find exclusive pieces to purchase at some of our exhibitions!

Recently, we hosted John Stomberg’s exhibition “World Repair: Recent Paintings by John Stomberg." We're thrilled to announce that 16 paintings sold from his collection, and 100% of the sale’s proceeds were generously donated to AVA!

Immense thanks to all the collectors who came to support AVA and John's work. Know that your contribution to AVA goes directly back to supporting the arts and our community by paying artists, assisting with supplies, and making classes & opportunities for connection accessible to all! And, of course, a special thanks to John for supporting us through those donations!

Please join us in wishing John a wonderful retirement!

AVA is an art gallery, but it's also much more.

It's a place to make and experience art - no matter your skill level, support local and aspiring artists, and connect with your neighbors.

We offer new exhibitions regularly featuring local artists and craftsmen, sliding scale workshops taught by experts in our community, programs for those in our area, and resources for artists to take their work to the next level.
