2025 WAA Members’ Show
Whitewater Arts Alliance Members’ show 2025
November 6 - December 20, 2025
(closed November 24 - November 30 for Thanksgiving week)
Reception: Saturday, November 15, 1pm to 4pm
The Whitewater Arts Alliance (WAA) is thrilled to announce its 2025 Members' Show, an annual tradition that highlights the talents of the WAA members. WAA invites all current members to take part in this special exhibition, which offers a chance for artists to display their artwork, connect with other artists, and celebrate the creative spirit that makes Whitewater unique.
Every November and December, the Cultural Arts Center is filled with art from its members of all ages and skill levels. This exhibition highlights the creativity within our community and showcases a wide variety of styles and mediums. It’s a wonderful way to see what’s inspiring our local artists as they share their work.
Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, November 15, from 12 pm-4 pm at the Whitewater Arts Alliance's Cultural Arts Center, 402 W Main St, Whitewater. This special event will feature the artists behind the artwork. Learn more about their inspirations, and enjoy light refreshments in a vibrant gallery setting.
The exhibition will include two exciting opportunities for visitors. They will have the chance to vote for their favorite piece, and the artist with the most votes will be announced on Saturday, December 20. Visitors can also sign up to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a FREE 2026 WAA membership! The winner will be drawn at the reception.
One of the many perks of being a WAA member is that members may submit up to three pieces of their original artwork with no entry fees. Additionally, there are no commission fees. Artists will keep 100% of the proceeds from any artwork sold during the show.
Whether you’re a participating artist or an enthusiastic supporter, we welcome you to join us in making the 2025 Members’ Show a memorable event for all. Let’s celebrate the arts together! If you would like to become a member, visit our website page https://www.whitewaterarts.org/membership and fill out a membership form.
If you are not a current WAA member but would like to exhibit in the 2025 Members’ Show, we offer a Mid-Year Membership that includes the remainder of 2025 and all of 2026. This entitles you to exhibit in both the 2025 and 2026 Members’ Shows. Info at https://www.whitewaterarts.org/membership
