April 6 – June 5, 2026
In celebration of our Members & Teaching Artists, we are proud to present the 2nd Annual Judy Herman Members Exhibition. The exhibition exemplifies the talents of our members and teaching artists in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, jewelry, ceramics, mosaics, photography, mixed media, and more! This annual exhibition has been named in honor of the late Judy Herman, whose dedication and passion as Executive Director of the Art Center, has made a lasting impact on our community. This exhibition is also a great way to purchase art from local artists, supporting both the artists and the Art Center!
Best of Show awards will be given during the opening reception on Saturday, April 11th. That evening, we’ll also be hosting our fan-favorite ceramics second sale and celebrating the opening of our Garden Sculpture Exhibition.
