Berks Art Alliance is proud to present their 47th Annual Juried Exhibition to be held in the Cohen East Gallery at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA.

In addition to the Berks Art Alliance members, this exhibition will feature artists from across the region, as they come together in showcasing their very best artwork.

The show will open on September 5th. A reception and awards ceremony will be held on Friday September 6th, 2026 from 6pm to 8pm. The event is free and open to the public with free parking in GoggleWorks’ parking lot.

The Berks Art Alliance began in November of 1941 as The Art Haven Guild of Berks County and changed its name to the Berks Art Alliance in 1947. 

The first annual membership exhibition was held in March of 1944 at the studio and gallery at 538 Centre Avenue, Reading.  That show continues today at the BAA’s present home, the Yocum Institute for Arts Education in West Lawn.  The BAA also continues to host an annual open juried art exhibition, inaugurated in 1977. Today, with over 200 active members, the BAA continues a legacy of fostering passion for the arts in Berks County.
