Over 30 years of existence— Through the years the Gallery has established a large clientele. The growth of the number of artists also has been substantial and on-going.
Association with other artists– the gallery allows artists to interact or collaborate on individual as well as group projects and in doing so, artists thrive and advance in their area of expertise. There is a zoom meeting the second Tuesday of each month.
Remote exhibits— We provide opportunities to exhibit work in outdoor exhibits and other indoor venues.
VB Art Center monthly themed exhibitions— There is a themed exhibit almost every month available to the artists at a discount. The monthly exhibit additionally brings in between 100 to 300 in attendance, giving exhibiting artists exposure for networking and possible sales. Exhibitions are judged for awards, giving artists an opportunity to add to their resume.
Educational opportunities— The gallery provides space not only for artists studios, but also for workshops and classes which are available to artists for learning and teaching.
Artist expeditions- On occasion there will be opportunities for a group of artists interested in paint-outs and art-related field trips.
