The Goleta Valley Art Association invites artists working in two-dimensional fine art and photography to apply for membership. Membership in GVAA remains in effect as long as yearly dues of $25 are paid by February 28. Dues for new members accepted after August 1 are $15 through the remainder of the year. We encourage members to actively participate in library shows, critiques, and outside exhibits offered by the GVAA.
Guidelines for Submitting work to our Virtual Shows
To apply for membership, submit two pieces of artwork in the same medium and style at any ingathering of a juried Goleta Library show (see Calendar) between 10:30 am and 1 pm at the Goleta Public Library, 500 N. Fairview Ave, Goleta, CA 93117.
Presentation is extremely important. It is best to submit two pieces on canvas or two pieces framed under glass so continuity is obvious. The juror will be looking for consistency. Pick up non-selected work between 2:30-4:30 pm. The fee for entering two pieces is $10.
