New Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The first AVA Invitational will feature six professional artists working in oil, acrylic, metal sculpture and installation. Each member of AVA’s Selection Panel was given the opportunity to invite two professional artists whom he respects to participate in this show, and the panel’s efforts have culminated in an interesting exhibition of contemporary works. Isaac Dunan, one of the three selection panel members, said he chose artists for the show who don’t just create but push the process on how they create. “What I respect about these artists is that they work day in and day out, creating as many painting or sculptures as they can. They keep pushing their time and limits to create great works of art,” Duncan said. “Chattanooga will have another opportunity to really see big city works in our home town. We do not need to go to the big cities when the big cities are visiting us.”

Rob Colvin (originally from Chattanooga, lives in New York, NY)
Patrick DeGuira (Nashville, TN)
Gerald Ferstman (Lexington, KY)
Bryan Jones (originally from Chattanooga, lives in New Haven, CT)
