Winners Announced for 2025 Spring Members' Exhibition

We are pleased to announce the winners selected from our Annual Spring Members' Exhibition. We awarded $1,900 in cash prizes to first, second, and third-place winners in both professional and non-professional categories, as well as a Best of Show distinction.

A winner was also selected for the Susan Maull Watercolor Award for excellence in that medium. And finally, we bestowed the inaugural Judy Grupp Mixed Media Award in memory of a longtime YAA member and artist. To honor Judy’s legacy and artistic spirit, her family, Alan Grupp, Ashley Grupp Crouse, and Vaugn Crouse, alongside Jack and Linda Sommer, established this award in her memory.

Visit us to see these and other works in person! This exhibition is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 10 am - 3 pm and Sundays from 2-4 pm. Last admission is 30 minutes prior to closing. This exhibition runs through April 20 at 4 pm.
