2022 Jo Mueller Small Works Auction

Regional Gallery

March 19 – May 13, 2022

       

Good things do come in small packages. At Spiva Center for the Arts, those small packages will measure 12”X12”, 9”X12”, or 6”X6” during the 24th annual Small Works Auction! Over 70 Spiva member artists create works from jewelry to collage they donate to the auction. The exhibit is a great way not only to raise money to fund Spiva operations, but to offer exposure for the participating artists.

 

PhotoSpiva Kids and Tweens

Upstairs Gallery

March 2022

Students will learn all about photography as an art form, from design principals, composition, lighting and more! Cameras are provided to the students to take home to create their own photographic art – some of which will be on display in Spiva’s Upstairs Gallery in the month of March!
