The Arts Council is proud to welcome our newest exhibit, Art from the Streets on display from November 17th to January 16th in our lobby gallery!

The mission of Art From the Streets is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit and creativity for those experiencing homelessness are nurtured through their own artistic expression. These artistic endeavors form a pathway to self-determination by means of the sense of achievement, social connections, and income generated through the pursuit of their art.

Come and view the incredible work by some amazing artists! Our galleries are open Tuesday-Friday: 10a-5pm and Saturday: 1pm-4pm. For more information visit: https://www.acbv.org/p/about/galleries-on-display/art-from-the-streets
