Celebrate joy and happiness during The International Museum of Art’s 3rd annual Member Showcase.
As “The People’s Museum,” we are supported by our donors, community partners, and members like you. We began hosting our Member Showcase to highlight the creativity and talents of our supporters. This year’s show is titled Joy Abounds and is about celebrating the joy that we have in our lives and community.
We want to showcase the people, places, and moments that bring us happiness. Artists were asked to submit work that exemplifies their definition of joy or explore what happiness means to them. Joy Abounds will be on view from July 26 through August 31, 2025. All are welcome to the opening reception on Saturday, July 26 from 2:00-4:00 pm.
