Join us for the opening receptions of PhotoSpiva 2025 & Jo Mueller Small Works Auction!
We’ll enjoy drinks, light hors d’oeuvres and announce this year’s PhotoSpiva award winners.
PhotoSpiva is a national competition hosted annually by Spiva Center for the Arts. Founded in 1977, PhotoSpiva has become the longest-running photographic competition of its kind in the U.S. This competition is open to all US photographers, and any type of photographic process – from traditional to digital to photo-based mixed media.
As stated by the founders, the objective of PhotoSpiva is to “present an exhibition of excellence in photography, celebrating the scope and vigorous activity of today’s contemporary photographers.”
Small Works is more than a silent auction—it’s a celebration of our creative community and a unique opportunity for artists to make a meaningful impact. Open to Spiva members of all ages, this event allows artists to showcase their talents while directly supporting the arts in our region.
By donating their artwork, participating members help sustain the programs, exhibits, and educational opportunities offered by the George A. Spiva Center for the Arts. Their generosity ensures that Spiva remains a vibrant cultural hub for artists and art lovers alike. For our community, Small Works offers a chance to collect one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local artists while contributing to a cause that enriches our collective experience. We are deeply grateful to the artists for their creativity and generosity—your contributions inspire and uplift our mission to nurture the arts.
