HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?

DISCOURAGED BECAUSE THE WORLD HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE YOUR ARTISTIC GIFTS....? 

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JOINING THE

NORTHERN VERMONT

ARTIST ASSOCIATION!
    Membership in the NVAA is open to all visual artists, working in any artistic medium, who live anywhere in the northern half of Vermont (from Middlebury to the Canadian border).  Our dues are $15 annually, and our dues year begins on Jan. 1st.  Membership is non-juried, and artists of all skill levels are welcome!
 One of the purposes of the NVAA is to offer amateur artists a way to connect with professionals, and "learn the ropes" on how to launch an artistic career.  Some of our members are seasoned pros, who routinely show and sell their work in established galleries, while others are "Sunday painters", looking to exhibit their work for the first time.  Most of our shows are non-juried, giving the beginner a "safe" venue to show their art.  Our newsletters are full of notices about art workshops and classes offered in the region, for those who seek to hone their artistic skills!
   Your dues entitle you to participate in all NVAA shows and events, such as our two month non-juried show at the Old Red Mill Gallery in Jericho and our famous June Juried Show.  This year our 80th annual June Juried Show will be held at the lovely Visions Of Vermont Gallery, in Jeffersonville.    
          Members also receive our monthly newsletter ARTIFACTS, in which NVAA president and editor Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr.  (left) writes an amusing letter to keep members up to date on NVAA events, workshops, classes and art shows.  The newsletters are a forum for members to share information about their own art shows and classes as well.

   THE VIRTUAL ART GALLERY
    Membership also entitles you to exhibit images of your work here on our website, in our Virtual Art Gallery (see tab at the top of this page).  If you would like to have your work on our site, send a CD of up to a half dozen digital photos, saved in jpeg format, along with a brief biography or artist statement, saved as a Word type file, to: Robert Waldo Brunelle JR.  135 Raceway Road, Jericho, VT. 05465.  Be sure to include a S.A.S.E. if you wish to have your CD mailed back! 
  To join us, click on the "Membership" tab at the top of this page, fill out the form, and send it, along with a check for $15, made out to NVAA, to:  Northern Vermont Artist Association, P.O. Box 5010, Essex Junction, VT. 05453.   Once you have joined, be sure to carefully read the NVAA Handbook (see tab at top of page). 
      The NVAA is now on FACEBOOK!  If you are on FB, look for "Northern Vermont Artist Association" and become a fan!  If you are an NVAA member, email digital photos of your artwork to brunelles3@aol.com, and Mr. Brunelle will post them on our FB Fan page photo album!
