AVA Gallery and Art Center

Discover AVA Gallery and Art Center

AVA Gallery is the Upper Valley's vibrant hub for creativity in the visual arts. Located in a beautifully restored 150-year-old textile factory, our 41,500-square-foot, ADA-compliant facility includes eight art classrooms, 19 artist studios, and eight exhibition spaces, including the Bank Street Gallery, a welcoming venue for artist members to exhibit and sell their work.

In 2025, AVA hosted over 180 art classes, 80 hours of free community programs, and more than 15 artist talks and events. More than 460 artists exhibited their work, generating $50,000 in sales. Our galleries welcomed over 11,000 visitors. Also, in 2025, we awarded $8,000 in financial assistance.

Serving 61 communities in New Hampshire and Vermont, AVA proudly collaborates with over 30 local organizations. It is committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and respectful environment for all—regardless of background or identity.

Your support helps us expand hands-on opportunities across artistic disciplines, from traditional visual arts classes like painting and drawing to woodwork, ceramics, and metalworking in our Sculptural Studies Building. AVA is a place for artistic exploration and community connection, no matter your arts interest!

All are welcome here. Visit us Monday through Saturday, 10 AM–5 PM.
