What a great year we’ve had here at VALA!
Over the past year, we have given VALA a new look, new logo, an updated and fabulous website, and added many new venues such as Venture X, Allen Library, and Chloe Mae to the VALA show line-up. This year, VALA has over 20 art show opportunities for our members along with free vendor booth opportunities where artists have had great sales numbers!
VALA volunteers have worked hard to organize consistent monthly meetings for both education and networking. Our VALA members have stepped up to form the Member Meeting committees and Curation/Reception committees to help make VALA run smoothly. We love our member community!
