Join our welcoming art community!
There are many benefits to being involved in our art community: increased sales, new collectors, new techniques, networking, creative synergy, inspiration and more!
Artists can be involved in the Virginia Beach Art Center in many ways:
Monthly Exhibitions
To receive reminders of Calls to Artists, subscribe to our Invitational Artist List. Use the subscription form in the website footer. Sign up for "Artist Reminders" (as well as the Guest List) and you'll receive news of when the next call is available. Also look for the prospectus and entry form on the Exhibitions tab.
Renting Space
To rent wall or studio space in The Artists Gallery Co-operative, you must go through a jury process. Click here for the application and for more information. Fill out the online form and the Gallery Manager will contact you to determine the next step to accomplish your request.
Plein Air League
The PALs meet once a month to paint on location. There is no formal instruction, but plenty of camaraderie and support. A gentle group critique at the end of each session helps everyone elevate their plein air skills. Use the subscription form in the footer to sign up so that you get the monthly email with details of the time and location.
Figure Drawing Group
The group meets three times a month for figure drawing exercises that range from quick poses to long (3-hour) poses. Check out our page for details and the schedule. Call to reserve your spot, and please notify if you must cancel--we always have a waiting list!
Teach an Art Class or Demo
We love to have new instructors and all types of artist demonstrations! Click here for more information.
