Show Yourself
We are continuously seeking new ways to help local artists showcase their work. Seeing inspiring creativity enriches all our lives, and sharing art with a steady stream of tourists and locals helps artists build their careers and experience the glow of appreciation. Currently, this is how we are helping the most creatives get the best exposure.
In addition, KRVAA offers Monthly Themed Competitions open to students and community members of all ages. Any medium is welcome, and you do not need to be enrolled in KRVAA classes to participate. Adult winners receive cash prizes of $100 for First Place, $75 for Second, and $50 for Third, while youth participants earn age‑appropriate awards and recognition.
These monthly opportunities give artists of every level a chance to challenge themselves, share their work, and be part of a
vibrant creative community.
Artists can hang or place their work in our Themed Gallery for a month for a fee of $10 per piece, with a 20% commission to KRVAA if it sells. We find this raises awareness and gives artists much-needed exposure and feedback on the work they do so far from any big metropolitan center galleries.
Some artists prefer to hang their work on our Retail Wall. It is free to place up to two pieces of work per artist there for up to three months. If sold, they share a 40% commission with KRVAA.
For professional crafters, our Gift Shop offers an Etsy-style brick-and-mortar location. Gift shop collections can be placed for $15 per month with a 20% commission as items sell.
And finally, we offer the Artists Exchange Retail shop where useful supplies or intriguing thrift shop finds are discovered, donated and sold at rock bottom prices to fuel creative imaginations. Please do not drop off unsolicited donations of items. We have very limited space and can’t take everything. Contact us if you have a gift in mind.
