The purpose of the Society is to bring together area artists to share interests, to enrich their own experience in art and to make contributions to the community. As a volunteer organization, it is highly regarded as a well run organization, respected for always striving for high standards in the art field. Members are encouraged to broaden their interests in all areas of art, through workshops, art excursions and monthly meetings, demonstrations, lectures and critiques.

Exhibitions & Receptions

The VAS is a volunteer membership organization.  We are able to keep our membership fee low because everyone pitches in and does a job.  There are now opportunities for artists to exhibit work and to help. 
Gallery sitting at the Art Center is a necessary job and one that we desperately need more people.
(There are videos to watch during the time you sit, and a plethora of books to look through.) 
If you show at any of our venues, other than the VAS Gallery at Village Green, you should be giving some time during the month that you show.  Information and orientation is available, just ask.  Contact Teresa Ahmad for more information.

AUGUST MEMBERSHIP MEETING – CRITIQUE

  Diane Frykman is an oil painter who has been developing her style for 30 years.  She has won art awards from Oklahoma to Alexandria, Virginia.  While traveling as an Air Force dependent and then as an Army wife, she took private classes, and then earned a degree in illustration and an MFA in painting and sculpture from VCU.  She taught art in elementary schools in North Carolina and Virginia, and was awarded Art Teacher of the Year in Northern Virginia.  She continues to show her work, teach adults, and paint in her studio in the Workhouse Art Center at Lorton, Virginia. 

Diane is currently concentrating on still life in a large format, including objects of a personal and historical nature.  Her style is realistic, based on the traditional oil painting methods of underpainting and glazing.  She is a former member of the Springfield Art Guild and a former juried member of the bin Gallery at the Torpedo Factory. She is currently showing in the Belnavis Art Gallery in Springfield, Virginia, and at the historic house at Green Springs Garden Park in Alexandria, Virginia, through the end of August 2010.

Diane looks forward to leading the annual VAS August critique of member paintings!
