The ever-popular Summer Small Works Show & Sale is back and once again creating opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their talent and gain exposure. Don’t miss out on the chance to add a unique piece of art to your collection this summer!
As a long-standing or new Member of the AGGV, you might be asking yourself this question. The Gallery Associates are a group founded more than 70 years ago with the express mandate to raise funds for the Gallery. Here’s what they’ve been up to this past year:
Steven McNeil, AGGV Chief Curator & Director of Collections and Exhibitions, explains the difference in meaning of the terms “Nude” and “Naked” in art history.
AGGV Assistant Curator Mel Granley recounts the Mushroom Foray – A day of fungi exploration in connection with our recent exhibition, Symbiosis.
John Manson, AGGV Gallery Shop Coordinator, presents a new Reading List focusing on books by Black authors and artists in celebration of Kemi Craig’s program, Blackspace Library.
The third Sunday of the month (Oct-June) is always the best Sunday here at the AGGV. That is when we host our monthly program Family Sunday.
The theme of the Gallery Shop Fall Reading List is Sharing Our World. We have been inspired by AGGV Exhibition The Street and how it depicts interactions and boundaries between people, cities, and natural spaces.

I’ve learned so much from this year’s artists and students, and I am already looking forward to next year’s partnerships.
