Introducing our newest venture! We secured a lease with the Hogan Street Cottages and we opened our AVA Art Center in February of 2024. Conveniently situated within the complex’s community building at 1350 Hogan Street, the center welcomes AVA members to participate by staffing open studio sessions or leading classes to share their art expertise.

Antigo Visual Arts envisions an arts-based community partnership in which every citizen has opportunities to explore, experience, and develop an appreciation for the visual arts in order to maximize their potential.

AVA sponsors 3 judged art gallery exhibits yearly open to the public. While membership is not required to enter, AVA members enjoy reduced entry fees. Additionally, AVA hosts a Holiday Gift Shop exclusively for members.

The Antigo Visual Arts (AVA) Gallery hosts 4 to 5 art exhibits each year, each featuring an opening reception that invites the community to come together and celebrate local art. Attendees can view and purchase artwork, often enjoy live entertainment, and participate in a friendly voting competition to select their favorite piece. If the show is judged, an awards ceremony recognizes outstanding artists. Artists contribute hors d’oeuvres, and refreshments such as wine and water are available for guests to enjoy. The reception is a vibrant and social event, fostering creativity and community connection.

Wisconsin Regional Arts Program Teen (WRAP Teen) is a program like WRAP, tailored for artists aged 13-19. It offers them a chance to exhibit their work at both regional and state levels. Antigo hosts a WRAP-Teen exhibit annually. For details, contact WRAP-Teen Coordinator, Danna Gabriel. More information about WRAP and WRAP Teen is available on the Association of Wisconsin Artists website.   Click Here for more information on WRAP Teen

All entries for AVA shows can be sold at the gallery. While AVA does receive some income from membership dues, it also relies on artwork sales to cover expenses. Artists are asked to price their work with the understanding that they will receive 75% of the price, with the remaining 25% going to AVA. Half of this amount, or 12.5%, is then donated to the Langlade County Historical Museum by Antigo Visual Arts.
