We are a gathering of diverse artists centered in Merritt, B.C., which lies in the Thompson-Nicola Valley. We come from a variety of backgrounds and each of us brings something artistically and personally unique to this group. Among us are painters, pencil and charcoal artists, sculptors, carvers, photographers, and digital artists of all ages and levels of skill.

We also have a Valley Visual Artists Facebook Page which is you can visit.

VVA Return To Roots

Members of the Valley Visual Artists decided at their annual general meeting in September to “return to their roots”. Simply put, they wanted to pursue their art in a creative, social atmosphere.
          As a result all members are invited to attend the various events scheduled over the next year. Creative activities have been set up on alternating 3rd Sundays and Mondays of each month at various locations to facilitate those who work during the week and those who are free on Mondays.
          The next session will be at Fran McMurchy’s home from 12 noon to 4 pm on Sunday, November 20th. If you are interested in attending please give Fran a call.
          Members are also invited to attend our annual Christmas Potluck, location TBA, 4 pm on Sunday, December 18th.
          The first session of the New Year will be held at the home of Bev Veale.
Memberships may be obtained at the Country Bugs Book Store, 2049 Quilchena Avenue in Merritt.
