Please give a warm welcome to our new VGA members who joined in August 2023: 

Natasha Ramras – Active Membership. Natasha is a returning member – welcome back, Natasha!

Amanda Clark – Participating Membership. Amanda is part of a local, non-profit theatre company doing rehearsals in our classroom space after hours. This is a partnership that is helping to bring in revenue while helping a local, non-profit theatre company. Win-Win!

Remember that you can get any member’s email address from the Member Directory in our “For Members” section of the VGA website. So say hello to our new members in person when they are at the Gallery or via email! 

What is a “member in good standing”? Is that YOU? We hope so! Please remember that to be a VGA member in good standing, you must be meeting your volunteer requirements as stated for your membership type. For example, Active members are required to volunteer for a minimum of 6 hours every month. The only exceptions are for illness or for a vacation where the member notifies the Gallery Assistant Coordinator or their Team Coordinator that they are missing some hours and will need to make up those hours as soon as possible. We understand that brand-new Active members need to schedule training as a Gallery Assistant. Any training is included as part of your volunteer hours. 

IMPORTANT: Members who are not in good standing are not allowed to display/sell any of their art until their volunteer commitment is met. This is part of VGA’s bylaws. 

THANK YOU to all members who are already diligently meeting their volunteer commitment. “It takes a Village” of all members to keep this special gallery running!
