African American Visual Artists Guild We represent and support the creative diversity of the African community and it’s relationship with contemporary society.

The African American Visual Artists Guild (AAVAG), of Dayton, Ohio, was born out of the need to express visually the African American experience through a wide range of styles and subject matter using many diverse approaches and materials with a focus on communicating the artist's own spirituality. Artists interested in joining the AAVAG membership can contact the AAVAG president Curtis Pettis - [email protected]
