VALA (Venues for Artists in the Local Area) is the recipient of a large in-kind donation of indoor space from Redmond Town Center to last four consecutive weekends starting Nov. 29. Artists, all creative art makers, painters, sculptors, photographers, mixed-media, textile, printmaking, glass, designers and craftsmen in all categories, are invited to apply for this opportunity to create and sell artwork during these weekends.

Chosen artists will be part of the first temporary VALA Art Studio Artist in Residence (AIR) Program. Artists will have the opportunity to have “studio space” to create their artwork and if they so choose to have display of artwork to sell free of cost or commission. The primary function of the VALA Art Studio is to allow artists the free space to create their artwork, collaborate with participating artists and VALA staff and connect to their local community while doing so.

In addition, Redmond Town Center, 425 Magazine and KPLU radio have agreed to sponsor a grand opening to benefit the VALA Art Studio from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Nov. 29 following the Redmond Town Center tree lighting.

Only 10 artists will be selected for the duration of the VALA Art Studio AIR Program.
