AVA’s 2025 End-of-Year Campaign: Art Connects Us
This year has been a remarkable one for AVA. With your support, we welcomed over 8,400 visitors to the gallery, showcased more than 270 artists, expanded our membership to 398, and connected creative communities across 29 counties. Our festivals brought together 195 local and national artists, and stories like that of Keith Fawcett—who found unexpected community through AVA—remind us why this work matters.
As we look ahead to 2026, we’re committed to building on this momentum. Your gift today ensures that AVA can continue offering transformative exhibitions, artist development opportunities, and meaningful experiences for our community.
Help us keep the momentum going.
Every contribution, large or small, fuels the future of Chattanooga’s visual arts community.
