Exhibitions
Every summer, Chautauqua Visual Arts (CVA) presents nine exhibitions in the galleries of Strohl and Fowler-Kellogg Art Centers, as well as the Melvin Johnson Sculpture Garden. These diverse spaces allow CVA to host a variety of contemporary shows from nationally-recognized artists. The focus in our galleries is on a wide range of contemporary art highlighting all media and sensibilities. Please visit our new website often, as we will be updating our content daily with new ways to engage with our exhibitions and artists!

Printmaker in Residence Preview

New this year! CVA is laying the groundwork for an off-season Residency program beginning in 2021, sharing our School of Art resources and community with professional artists beyond the nine-week summer residency. Artists who might benefit from our unique environment and facilities in the Printmaking and Ceramics areas will be invited by the Chautauqua School of Art to make work and share space with us. For now, we offer you a preview of the work of School of Art Alumni Melissa Joseph and Ashante Kindle whom we look forward to hosting as our inaugural 2021 Artists-In-Residence.
