AVA was founded in December 2001 by an enthusiastic group of amateur and professional artists. It has flourished ever since and now has a membership of approximately 90 artists. More about membership
We run arts and applied arts workshops throughout the year inviting a wide range of tutors from the UK and local artists to teach these workshops. More about workshops

We also organise an annual exhibition every year, which can attract more than 600 visitors who vote for their favourite art work in the ‘People’s Choice’ and many sales are made. We are proud of the reputation our exhibitions have earned. This year’s exhibition will take place from Saturday 27th to Wednesday 31st May 2023 in Whiting Bay Hall. More about our exhibition
