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. The application is on The Artists Gallery's website. Fill out the form and then 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. Use the subscription form in the footer to sign up so that you get the monthly email with details of the time and location.
