The Art Association Napa Valley is a private, nonprofit arts organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for the Napa Valley by supporting arts and culture throughout the county. We provide funding, advocacy, marketing and exhibition opportunities for local artists. A large portion of member dues and a percentage of art sold contributes annually to the AANV Scholarship Fund, which benefits local high school and college students who wish to pursue artistic careers. Exhibition opportunities for members include rotating shows at local banks and businesses, and a co-operative gallery, Art Gallery Napa Valley, located at 1307 First Street on the west side of downtown Napa. Classes and workshops are held at the Art Center Napa Valley on Behrens Street. AANV also sponsors and runs the Open Studios Napa Valley Program.
