The Members Show offers the opportunity for all Art Alliance members, regardless of their level of expertise, to show their work.

The show will be split between June and July and held at KISH Bank Expect More Store on S. Allen St in State College.

We look forward to this double annual show featuring the work of our many talented members. Artists may select the month that they prefer on this form. We will have two shows of roughly equal number of works, each with the quality that has been our tradition. 

 The entry form and non-refundable fee are due Friday, May 31, 2024.
