The Visual Arts Club’s mission is dedicated to encouraging artistic expression and furthering knowledge and appreciation of the arts for its members. We ended 2021 with 384 memberships, 64 of which were new members. We implemented an auto-renewal program by billing members’ accounts directly. For the first time in over ten years, for 2022, we raised our annual dues by $5 to $20 individual and $30 for family. The best deal on Dataw! In the last four years, our membership has grown by 45%. Our growth is a testament to what VAC offers. Even during the tough times of Covid, we found ways to give members the opportunity to create and appreciate art. Click through to read my full report.
