Member Virtual Exhibition

2024 Member Virtual Exhibition

The purpose of the Member Virtual Exhibition (MVE) is to provide the opportunity for members to participate in a statewide, juried competition of their peers. FAEA proudly sponsors this exhibition to foster and encourage our members as working artists, and we celebrate their accomplishments! All jurors are professionals in the visual arts field with expertise in the evaluation of artwork for exhibition. 

Please join FAEA in celebrating our members whose works are featured in the 2024 Member Virtual Exhibition! The virtual exhibition will be displayed at the FAEA Conference.
