As the New Year's confetti settles, it's time to share our 2025 gallery exhibition schedule with our members and friends of YAA. This year looks a bit different than in years past, as we plan, adapt, and focus our energies in many new and important ways at YAA.
We are preparing to move our facilities to our new location at the end of 2025. This will be a special year of transition, saying goodbyes, packing up, and bravely forging new paths toward creativity and community as artists and art lovers in our new spaces.
The gallery committee has planned the final exhibitions for our space at 220 South Marshall Street. Take a look at the schedule below and please save the dates to join us as we usher in each exhibit with a Sunday afternoon opening reception.
Our 2025 exhibitions are generously supported by:

THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER (JUL 27-SEP 7)
Can you hear it? Birds singing, crickets chirping, frogs croaking, waterfalls rushing, cicadas droning, kids splashing, motorcycles roaring, lawn mowers buzzing... these are the sounds that bring summer to life. We are calling artists to make a piece of work depicting their visual representation, abstract or otherwise, of the sounds of summer. It need not be a literal portrayal of bees, frogs, etc. Let your creativity roam through the warm days of this wonderful season.
