This outreach opportunity enables artists, near and far, to share their craft with the local community through our non-profit creative arts center and gallery. Sponsored by VECCA, the Artist of the Month shares a solo or group art exhibition for one month at a time. VECCA is particularly interested in promoting non-member artists; as well as emerging artists of all age and medium. Take a look at upcoming and previous shows.

The Space
All AOM artists use this as the main space for exhibiting their artwork. There is a shelf that allows for business cards, an artist bio with show description, and a sign-in book for visitors. If you have notecards or small artwork on easels, this space can also be used for those creations. In addition, VECCA offers an art rack that can be used for prints.
In addition to the main wall space, VECCA also offers the window shelf, two large easels that stand in the window cavity, and the window wall for use by the AOM artists. Measurements are provided above. AOM artists are also invited to use VECCA’s easels or bring their own, as well as to incorporate unique or seasonal window display items (such as colorful scarves or media-related items that would be on exhibition throughout the AOM month chosen).
If you have further questions about exhibiting as an Artist of the Month at VECCA, please email VECCArts@gmail.com. We strongly encourage artists to visit our gallery space prior to their show to get an in person feel for the space.
