Are you an artist looking for a wonderful networking opportunity?

AAWV membership not only offers you a chance to connect with fellow artists but also provides numerous opportunities for your personal growth and artistic development. Benefits include workshops, expert lectures, social events, and exhibition opportunities.


We sponsor a juried exhibition every other year which has been held at locations such as the Parkersburg Art Center, Clay Center in Charleston, and Huntington Museum of Art. As a member, you will be invited to show with Allied Artists of West Virginia. 


Members are also invited to submit photos of their work, bio, artist statement, and any other relevant information to be displayed on this website on your own artist page. This is great way to create backlinks to your main website!


Each member receives a monthly newsletter and other notices via email containing art show opportunities, award announcements and other items of interest.


Workshops are held at least once a year.


Meetings

We hold meetings in March, April, and have a picnic in May. Then because Summer is so busy for most members, we don't have meetings again until September, continuing in October, November and topping off the year with a Christmas party in December. No meetings are held in the winter months of January and February.
