AVAC is a non-profit organization consisting of local artists and patrons of The Arts from throughout Chaffee County, Colorado with members also spread across the country. Its Art Center Gallery hosts a number of fine arts shows, workshops and events at a beautiful new facility on the Colorado Mountain College campus in Buena Vista.

I hope you'll take the time to enjoy our talented members' portfolio section, as you will see a wide variety of mediums, amazing skills, and a deep love of Art in its truest form exhibited there. We take great pride in our colleagues here at AVAC, and I am certain you'll enjoy the fruits of their labors of love!
