The event takes place this coming weekend, May 2-5, at the Courtyard Building at 26120 Ridgeview Drive. The Annual Members Show is part of the AAI's "First Saturdays" series, which hosts an entertaining and informative art event on the first Saturday of each month from March through October.
The event opens Friday, May 2, with a cozy, evening reception from 7-9 PM. Enjoy drinks and appetizers as you browse the excellent, original creations and chat with your favorite artists. The reception is free and open to the public. Artists and guests will cast their votes for the "People's Choice" and "Artists Choice" awards, which will be given to first and second place winners.
The exhibition will remain open Saturday, May 3, through Monday, May 5, from noon until 5 PM. You're sure to find an exceptional selection, whether you're thinking about starting an art collection or looking for some unique pieces to expand an existing one.
