OPPORTUNITIES & INVOLVEMENT
Programs to enhance and support arts in our community.
ANA has several programs developed to work, mentor, and show the variety of artwork in the community at large. Our goal is to always look for new ways to enhnace the arts in our area.
ANA Art in Professional Spaces
In partnership with local business the ANA is linking our artists with professional business for the purpose of displaying and selling local artwork. The business gets to choose the artists and the work, the artists gets a free professional space to hang their work. All sales are done directly through the participating artists and no cut goes to the business. They business gets free local artwork for display. If you would like to participate in this program you must be comfortable with uploading images of your artwork to a shared folder that local business can look at. You must have at least 20 works to upload. You must be willing to go to location and hang your art work and then be able to take it down at the contracted time.
