Our "Mind Your Art Business" program is specifically designed for emerging visual artists who are looking to reach their professional artistic goals. Through a combination of professional development workshops, art supplies, and strategic exposure throughout the year, we prepare artists for a successful art career.

Our focus areas for professional development include learning to articulate one’s art clearly and concisely to a variety of audiences, developing an online presence to attract the right buyers, apply for grants and residencies, and securing art showings and gallery representation.

VVAA will also host our capstone event, our end-of-year group exhibition, where participating artists will showcase original art created specifically for the event.
