AVA's Mission Statement

AVA Gallery and Art Center is dedicated to promoting the visual arts through year-round exhibitions and educational programs that nurture, support and challenge New Hampshire and Vermont artists, and to providing art classes for children, teens and adults of all levels and abilities. AVA's programs, including special events that foster interaction between artists, patrons of the arts and the general public, are dedicated to recognizing art's enriching contribution to our lives.

Scholarship, internship and volunteer opportunities are integral to AVA's programming.

Founded in 1973, AVA (Alliance for the Visual Arts) is a 501 (C)(3) not-for-profit organization.
