It’s a casual cozy spot for all ages to relax, create and enjoy treats. The Art Cafe focuses on self-expression and community.
Who is Valley Fine Arts Association?
The Valley Fine Arts Association was formed in 2005 to create, encourage and advance fellowship among artists of the Matanuska Susitna Valley of South-Central Alaska. It is comprised of artists at all levels of development from student to professional. We are inclusive of anyone who has the desire to express themselves artistically in various forms and mediums. We welcome everyone who values and supports the presentation of visual art.
Our members gather several times monthly at various venues to meet and support each other in our endeavors. Attendees are encouraged to bring current art projects to work on. We enjoy the camaraderie as we share and help each other. We foster learning through demonstrations of all sorts of techniques, mediums and disciplines. We occasionally offer model sessions for those of you who want the chance to paint from life.
We also have discussions about marketing, self-promotion, art therapy, current trends, group shows and all things artistically related. special events are being offered as a member you will be notified by email.
