7th Annual Member Show

Application OPENS March 21 and closes April 4th.

7th Annual Member ShowVashon Center for the Arts will host VIVA in May 2024. VIVA will command the entire Koch Gallery space and walls of the Atrium to display VIVA’s wide range of talent. Open to all VIVA members working in 2D or 3D.
No late applications can be accepted. And Remember NO changes can be made at the time of art drop-off on April 29th.

The application is a two-step process:

  1. Fill out the online application on the VCA Website: HERE.
  2. Send 2­–3 JPG images, as well as your “headshot” photo if this is your first member show, to Lynn McClain at Membershow@VIVArtists.com. Only JPGs can be accepted.
    • Re-name your JPG image with this format: YourLastName_YourFirstName_TitleofArtwork.jpg (EXAMPLE: McClain_Lynn_Ottersculpture.jpg).
    • Include dimensions (HxWxD) for every image.
    • Make a copy of your application for your future reference.

There is a $10 fee for artists for our member show this year, payable at the time of drop-off in cash/check. All shows have entry fees and this is a modest way to support VIVA’s operational costs.

  • Please submit 2–3 pieces only. One work will be chosen from each artist by a jury.
  • For 2D artists, please consider that there are over 100 artists in the show. If your piece is over 36×36 inches, including frame, be sure to submit smaller pieces as well.
  • For 3D artists, please consider that each 3-D artwork will need to fit on a pedestal in the gallery.
  • Questions about size or medium? Feel free to contact Lynn McClain at Membershow@VIVArtists.com.
