Center for Emerging Visual Artists

Comment on Facebook

The Center For Emerging Visual Artists, formerly Creative Artists Network, was founded in 1984 by Felicity R. “Bebe” Benoliel to encourage the career development of emerging visual artists. Since then, the organization has worked steadily harder to provide the support essential to talented individuals building careers in the visual arts. The Center dedicates itself to making art careers viable for those who choose them, helping emerging artists reach their audiences, and promoting interest and understanding of emerging visual art among citizens of the community.
