Whitewater Arts Alliance Members’ Show 2025

November 6 - December 20, 2025

(closed November 24 - 30 for Thanksgiving)

Reception: Sunday, November 15, 1pm to 4pm

The Whitewater Arts Alliance (WAA) proudly presents its Annual Members’ Show, an annual celebration of local creativity and community connection. Held at the Cultural Arts Center, 402 W. Main Street in Whitewater, the exhibition runs from November 6 through December 20 and features 117 original artwork by 46 WAA member artists.

The exhibition features a wide range of mediums—including painting, photography, fiber, ceramics and mixed media—each reflects the unique perspective and style of its creator. This longstanding WAA tradition reflects the Alliance’s ongoing commitment to promoting the arts in Whitewater.

An opening reception will take place on Saturday, November 15, from 1pm-4pm. All are welcome to attend and enjoy refreshments, meet the artists, and learn more about the stories behind the work. The reception offers a relaxed and welcoming opportunity to connect with the creative community and explore the role of the arts in local life.

In the spirit of giving, WAA is also sponsoring a food drive to benefit the Whitewater Food Pantry. Guests who bring three non-perishable food items will receive a ticket to enter a 40/60 raffle—an fun way to support local families while celebrating the arts.

The Members’ Show remains one of the Alliance’s cornerstone events, highlighting the value of artistic collaboration and the importance of sustaining a vibrant arts culture in Whitewater.
