To all VWS members:
Because of a member’s complaints, I would like the clarify the situation as regards our Annual Exhibit in March 2023.
Please mark your calendar: Entries for the Annual Exhibit will open December 1st. We are again fortunate to be able to use the Thousand Oaks Community Gallery. It is an excellent gallery with plentiful parking, good walk-in traffic potential, very close to the freeway and near several restaurants. We have sold well at this location. If any of you are concerned about the distance or timing of take-in for accepted art, please contact me in February.  Your work can be dropped off at my home in Van Nuys and I will also bring it back after the exhibit closes.
Finding a gallery to host our annual exhibit has proven very difficult. While there is a very pleasant venue in Burbank – the only one left in the area – they could only offer us July or August which would not work out well for us. The Board is open to any suggestions you have or anything we may have overlooked. We would appreciate your participation as we prepare for the 2024 Annual Exhibit!
 
Have a healthy, happy holiday Season — Sylvia Crosbie
