We’re getting a head start on the December Membership Show this year starting on November 28th. Just like we did last year, we will have our opening reception for both the December Membership Show and the 6×6 Silent Auction on the same night. Last years events were a great success and we’re excited about this year’s auction. We have given out over 200 – 6” x 6” canvases to artist for the silent auction to raise funds for education and programs.

This is our third annual 6 x 6 Show ­– just in time for Christmas gift shopping. The 6” x 6” show is a silent auction to raise money for education programs and events at ANA. We’ve handed out FREE  6” x 6” stretched canvases (there are a few left) to anyone that wants to participate. Artists take them home, paint whatever you choose on them, and then bring them back to the ANA Gallery during regular business hours between Tuesday (November 28) and Saturday (December 2). We’ll hold the silent auction during the December Membership Show opening on December 14th.

ARTIST RECEPTION

Our opening reception for the show will be December 14, the same night as the Rogers Art on the Bricks. There will be lots going on all through the downtown area. We will have heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, art,  music, an opportunity to visit with friends, and bid on original 6×6 artworks.
