Mission Statement

​The Visual Arts Association is a “not for profit” organization that encourages members in their various fine art endeavors. Membership is open to all residents of The Villages who share an interest in fine arts. A number of venues allow members to show their art and to learn and advance their skills. A demonstration by a guest artist at meetings promotes interest and instruction in various techniques. The association supports local high school students with the opportunity to apply for scholarships.

Meetings

Membership meetings are scheduled for the first Friday of each month (except for July and August) at 1:00 p.m. at the Seabreeze Recreation Center. The Executive Board also meets the first Friday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at the Seabreeze Recreation Center.

The VAA fiscal year runs from September 1 to August 31.
