2020 Member Show Awards

Franklin Delgado, Judge

NOTE: As the annual reception has been canceled due to the pandemic, awards will be mailed to the recipients.

Due to the unprecedented restrictions of the pandemic, the annual AAG Member Show was greatly modified this year.  However, despite these challenges, AAG continues to promote the local art community.  With 60 participating artists, ACA was able to exhibit slightly over 100 pieces of local art. We announced awardees on our website, social media, newsletter, and print.  Special thanks to Aiken Center for the Arts and our very own Debbie Black for their professionalism, patience and flexibility.
