(*)  EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL MEMBERS   


The Art Center offers a series of exclusive opportunities throughout the year for our Members who are artists. 

The Members’ Committee at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey works to provide a forum for members of the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey to display their work to the public in a manner that showcases the quality, professionalism, and caliber of each participant, and is rewarding and festive as well as an asset to the community. 

The Committee has three signature programs: 
1.  The Summit Downtown Art Festival, in collaboration with Summit Downtown, that takes place in
     September. 
2.  An Open Call for exhibitions curated by Members in the Strolling Gallery and Anne’s Place Gallery. The call for proposals is in the spring of each year. 
3.  Members Art Show and Collectors Week for Members only.
