Wow! We are excited to announce that this year Art Comes Alive (ACA) awards and exhibition will be the best ever. To celebrate this milestone, we are adding new jurors, more gallery contracts and purchase awards for a total of $450,000!  

It's incredible to think that up until now we've given artists over $5 million in awards. It's something we are extremely proud of to be helping artists succeed in their art careers.

ACA'S STORY...

Why aren't artists acknowledged for all they do?
That's the question Litsa had in 2006 while attending a large business awards ceremony. It was here that she realized that she could do something even bigger for artists all across the nation. That was the moment that Art Comes Alive (ACA) was born!

Litsa is a believer in the power of connecting people. She is convinced that meeting people face-to-face creates meaningful relationships. This is what ACA has been doing for artists for 15 years! We bring artists, collectors, art dealers, galleries, and industry professionals together to do business and build strong relationships.

ACA THROUGH THE YEARS...
