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.
