ABOUT VFAA:
VFAA was formed in 2005 to fill a need for artists in the Matanuska and Susitna Valley to create art, teach techniques, connect with each other and gain more exposure for their artwork. Our mission then and now is to bring artists together, to encourage fellowship amongst artists and in the community as a whole; we strive to promote a supportive attitude toward visual arts in our Alaskan community.
We welcome artists from beginners to professional, students and teachers, abstract or representational. We mainly focus on two-dimensional art mediums and want to connect with other creative people and gain more exposure locally.
Throughout the year, we inform our members about opportunities to show their work, participate in group events, view other artists work, attend workshops, watch artist demos, paint live models and gather together for plein air painting when the weather permits.
Membership in the Valley Fine Arts Association provides many diverse opportunities for artists.
