Previous Exhibitions

Tiny But Mighty...Thumbnails!

CCMA is pleased to present Thumbnails, show and sale, a new exhibit paradigm for MVAL to promote artwork on a smaller, more accessible scale — under 10”!
​
The Mission for Mid-Valley Arts League’s Thumbnails exhibit is to promote original works of art by many of our award winning artists and general membership for both personal enjoyment and cultural enrichment through the visual arts experience. Smaller paintings can offer greater visual appreciation and are often rich in both content and creativity.
​
Exhibit Dates: October 3–November 30, 2019.
Artist’s Reception: Sunday, October 6th, 2–4pm
Location: Chaffey Community Museum of Art
