Ryman Arts celebrates its 25th Anniversary with an Alumni Art Exhibition showcasing its 25-year history and its impact on local artists. The Opening Reception welcomed 300 guests to a night of art, art making, and meet and greets with the alumni artists.
The exhibition featured 60 alumni artists, and was planned by a committee of Ryman Arts Alumni. The artwork featured in the exhibition showcases the raw and inspiring talent of both seasoned and emerging artists, all of who received their foundational training at Ryman Arts.
