GVAL Artist of the Month

We all love to see what other members are creating! All members are encouraged to bring one finished painting to the monthly meetings. The members in attendance will choose the Artist of the Month by secret ballot. The winners from each month will be voted on in June for the
Artist of the Year Award. You can contact us at hello2@gval.org with questions.
