VGA In the Community

VGA at La Strada

VGA will, once again, have a presence at the amazing La Strada Dei Pastel Chart Art Festival in July. Chalk artists are flying in from around the country. This is a great opportunity for VGA to show its place in the local art community.

VGA needs volunteers and artists for our non-profit booth at the Chalk Art Festival in downtown Hillsboro on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. Our goal is to divide the weekend into 2 or 3 hour shifts with 2 people for each shift if we get enough volunteers. As of June 1, we only have 2 volunteers! Please check your calendars and consider if you can spare 2 or 3 hours to represent our gallery at this event. 

As a non-profit, we are required to have hands-on activity at the booth. We are currently planning a scratch art activity, but we are still open to other suggestions. 

Please contact Annette Wilkie ([email protected]) if you are interested in staffing the booth and/or providing a hands-on activity.

Thanks,
Annette
