Artists in Our Midst is the annual juried exhibition of work by members of Art in Common. Art In Common is a nonprofit organization that started in 1986 as a forum for artists, photographers, digitals artists and sculptors to network with other artists, exhibit and promote their artwork. 27 local and regional artists are showcased in this exhibition every year.

“This annual exhibition highlights the incredible artistic talent in this region,” said SAMA Site Coordinator, Hannah Harley. “Whether it’s watercolor, oils, ceramics, photography, metalwork – this creative community continues to create impressive and exciting artwork.
