From the President’s Paintbrush:

A gracious good day to all of you and congratulations to everyone who entered the Member’s Exhibition.

It is our pleasure that nationally and internationally recognized artist, Colby Parsons, is serving as Juror. 

I hope you will join us for the public opening on Saturday, June 7 at the Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 North Charles St., Lewisville where we will be celebrating not only the opening of this amazing event, the announcement of the winners, and also the Golden Anniversary of VAST!

As I looked through all of the entries, I was, once again, struck by the exceptional talent of participating artists.
I look forward to seeing you at the presentation ceremony!

On another note, the 2024-2025 year of VAST will come to a close on May 31 !

Our new website is amazing as it has the ability to send everyone a renewal notice on their anniversary date. No more guessing, “When is my membership due again”?

I have always been the world’s worst in keeping track of renewing my memberships to various clubs and I hope you will find it simple and convenient to reup for next year.

Carolyn, our program chair, already has some great programs lined up, Jo, exhibition chair, has the exhibition schedule nearly all set, our new mini show/creative stretch coordinator, Adam Moen, is eager and ready to bring his unique changes to the table, we have identified a new place for one of our monthly coffee klatches and new committees members are being recruited.

If you have found a new “home” with VAST and/or want to get more involved, contact the chair of any of the committees listed below! This is the most talented, fun, welcoming group that I have ever joined. I’d love for you to find that home too! Keep creating and have a blessed month! ~~Kimberly
