A Word From Our President

I'd like to welcome you to the Arkansas Valley Art Center! We're glad you've decided to stop by our "virtual" gallery, and we certainly hope what you'll find here will entice you to visit us in "real time" in the near future!

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. Expansion into educational classes for local youth has become one of the group's main focuses, while continuing to provide gallery space for member shows, competitions and learning opportunities for all of its members.

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!

I'd also like to invite you to return to our website frequently to keep abreast of all the new events, shows and changes at the Arkansas Valley Art Center. And if you aren't yet a member, we'd love to have you join us! Check out the various types of membership and all of the new benefits you can experience as a supporter of Fine Arts in Chaffee County!
