HIGHLIGHTS FROM ACA 2020

We had to reschedule the 2020 ACA Awards & Exhibition twice due to COVID – but it didn’t stop us from selling 85 pieces and honoring artists with many awards!

ACA 2020 was a tremendous achievement for our industry! In the middle of a global pandemic, we were able to celebrate artists and their love and passion for their craft in ways that many didn't think possible.

You can take a look at highlights from last year's exhibition opening, see the winning artists, hear from a few of our most successful ACA artists and even review the entire list of ACA 2020 Entrants.
