2026 Member & Guest Exhibition

There is no theme for this year's Member & Guest Exhibition. We invite artists to share the work they are most proud of, explore something different, take creative risks, and surprise us.

From traditional to contemporary, familiar to unexpected, we look forward to showcasing the diverse talents and perspectives of artists in our community.

Show us your best work. Be daring.
