The annual Winter Juried Show is a tradition held in February at the Art Complex Museum.

One of the highlights from the DAA's Winter Juried Show 2007 was Pat Sayce(left), Vice-President of Rockland Trust, presenting Vincent, "Jim" LoPiccolo(right) with the Best in Show award for his painting, Garlic. Jim has taught for many years at the DAA. We are thrilled for him and congratulate him on his success. We are grateful to Rockland Trust for generously sponsoring the $500.00 award for the Winter Juried Show, 2007.
