Exhibit With Us.


Open Calls for Art

We're your community arts connection.

At the CVA gallery, we work hard to provide opportunities for local artists in 4 primary ways.

1. We curate and exhibit inclusive and engaging art exhibits featuring our area's local artists.

2. We solicit work from across the Southeast for periodic exhibitions intended to educate, inspire, and expose our community to facets of the art world in new ways.

3. We save room in our yearly exhibition calendar for exhibits proposed by our visual artists and other creatives who may have dynamic, important work to show or amazing ideas for collaborations.

4. We give additional opportunity for our CVA Members to participate in Exclusive Member Exhibitions & be represented in our Gallery Gift Shop.

But wait, there's more! We also keep our eye on social media & email newsletters from other arts organizations.

We try to share as many opportunities as possible as widely as possible so that our community's artists have the chance to represent themselves in exhibitions both locally and nationally.
