For the Love of Art

Every February Gainesville Area Visual Arts hosts this fantastic event to raise money for the GAVA Art Scholarship. Thank you to everyone who attended the event on February 6th, 2026, our 13th Annual For the Love of Art event. This FREE one night event featured lots of new artists and most importantly - NEW art! The best part is all of the fantastic art was available for purchase to support a great scholarship!

The only artists who showed their art at this event are the members of Gainesville Area Visual Arts.
