Story
Welcome to the Visual Artist Alliance of Springfield (VAAS)! We are a non-profit organization committed to nurturing and promoting the arts in the Springfield area. Our members represent a diverse range of artistic styles and backgrounds, but we all share a passion for creating and sharing our work with the community. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, VAAS offers a welcoming community of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to fostering creativity and artistic growth. Join us today and discover all that VAAS has to offer!
Our monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month. We have brief business meetings and feature presentations, speakers, or demonstrations here. We also hold several gatherings throughout the year where our members can come together, share their latest artwork, and have a good time.
