DVAA is such an integral part of my story as an artist. It is where I held my first solo show. It is where I am at home. As a long-time member and now board member, it is extremely important to me to keep the doors open! As a community organization, we do a lot to keep free and affordable offerings available to the public. We support artists of all levels and encourage everyone to get involved. I have never been a part of an organization that made me so proud to be involved - our leadership are part of our family. We are a team committed to creating a safe space for artists and the community.
