Community Outreach

Gilbert Visual Art League strives to provide education at our monthly meetings through professional artist presentations and by supporting various outreach programs in our community.

 GVAL is involved in several outreach programs. Volunteer members teach children at House of Refuge in Mesa, and also provide art instruction to children and adults through art workshops at HD South in Gilbert. In addition you will find GVAL volunteers at Cooley Middle School teaching students art. This art program is a collaboration between the art class’s teacher Allison Baumann of Higley School District, Maria Davis, and GVAL’s Community Outreach Coordinator Donna Finter.  Read more about this program in the Gilbert Sun News.
