A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BELLA VISTA ART CLUB

In 1966, the idea for an Art Club in Bella Vista sprang from the inspired minds of 22 individuals who came together monthly to share their ideas and talents, to socialize, and to commit to creating the inspiring forum which is the Village Art Club.

Today the Village Art Club maintains Wishing Spring Gallery and Gallery West, to showcase and provide an outlet for members who wish to market their art and crafts to the public. The club also sponsors the very popular Bella Vista Arts and Crafts Festival.  This is a juried show that is held annually in October, drawing fine artists and crafters, as well as visitors, from far and wide!

In addition to the Galleries and the Fine Art Festival, The Village Art Club is committed to furthering the education and appreciation of the visual arts through it's scholarship program.

Membership is open to those who love art and wish to support the Art Club and it's many endeavors.   Club annual dues are $20.00. 

Club leadership consists of a Board of Directors elected by the membership, as well as an Executive Committee and various committee chairs, all volunteer positions.   The dedication of these volunteers, coupled with hundreds of valuable volunteer hours from other committed club members, help to make the Village Art Club the place to be for anyone who enjoys the visual arts, whether they be painters, sculptors, potters, woodworkers, carvers, crafters, or simply admirers of fine art!
