VALA Eastside will partner with The Bear Creek School to showcase the artwork of eight students, whose artwork ranges from paintings to sculptures, and the exhibition will run for the month of March.

An artists’ reception will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. March 4. Admission is free ($5 suggest donation) and there will be light appetizers and beverages. VALA is located in Redmond Town Center, 7330 164th Ave. N.E.

What do teens of today think about? What affects our youth so profoundly as to have life-changing impacts, which alter the way they live out their lives? Come and see the perspectives of eight diverse personalities, each a passionate student-artist exploring her thoughts and memories.

“Partnering with today’s youth and giving them a venue to exhibit their work ties in heavily with our mission of connecting the community to art,” says VALA Co-Founder and Executive Director Jessica Lambert.
