The Washington Art Association & Gallery presents Young Talent, 2026, a collaborative exhibition featuring works from artists under 30 years of age who are not currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. On view from February 14 through March 14, the works will include paintings, photography, works on paper (drawing, printmaking, watercolor, collage), sculptures, ceramics, fiber arts, and digital installations. Visitors are invited to browse through new styles of contemporary art by a new generation of artists. 

The Young Talent Exhibition has been a much-loved tradition of the Washington Art Association for over two decades, and has become a significant platform for emerging young artists. Past participants include now-established artists such as Eric Aho, Cat Balco, Erin Raedeke, Giordanne Salley, Amy Lincoln, and Mark Brousseau. 

There will be an opening reception on February 14 from 4 to 6 pm. The exhibition will then be open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from noon to 4 pm.
