Larson Gallery Guild
Members’ Exhibition
Members’ Exhibition
Exhibiting: June 13, 2026 – July 11, 2026
Opening Reception: June 13th; 3-5pm
Sponsored by Deborah Ann
This annual non-juries exhibition highlights the creativity of the members of the Larson Gallery Guild . The Larson Gallery Guild currently consists of approximately 426 members and in 2025 this show had 103 entries. Since Guild members can only exhibit one piece in the exhibit, members are very selective about their work and choose their best piece. What makes this exhibit special is its variety of media. Many artists use this time to explore and exhibit the result of a new process.
Artwork Drop off: June 2nd – June 5th, 2026
What's Happening Next
Outside In: Central WA Street Art Exhibition
Exhibition open: July 25th – August 29th, 2026
Central Washington has some extraordinarily talented
street artists, whose murals add color, verve, and sometimes a touch of whimsy, to our urban landscape. Street
art has had an important impact on the contemporary art world, with figures like Keith Haring and Banksy achieving international acclaim for work that started out as
freely offered public art. This exhibition celebrates our
local street artists, featuring examples of their portable
work as well as photographs of their outdoor murals in
situ. Watch our social media for updates on additional
programming involving the artists featured in the
exhibition.
