VALA - Venues for Artists in the Local Area

About VALA

VALA Eastside aspires to provide a cherished “third place” for artists and community alike—a sanctuary beyond home and work, where diverse forms of art flourish, and connections deepen. In this vibrant space, artists connect with peers, and communities discover new artistic horizons. Through art, we communicate, understand, and unite in unprecedented ways. We provide opportunities for artists to begin their journey, or for more experienced artists to explore new territory. The goal is to spark conversation and galvanize change through themed group exhibits, artist chats, workshops, and other events and programs. Together, we attempt to shine a light on the Eastside’s burgeoning art scene, and beyond.
