The Visual Arts Society
Established in 1992, the Visual Arts Society (VAS) of Jacksonville State University supports the Department of Art, and creates interest and involvement in the visual arts in the community. Yearly events sponsored by the VAS and the Department of Art include special receptions for members before exhibitions in Hammond Hall Gallery, a Creole Dinner, and a Gala Buffet and Art Auction. The society also organizes trips to museums and art galleries in Birmingham and Atlanta, and presents art workshops for members.
The Visual Arts Society has raised over $100,000 since its inception, and sponsored artist visits and workshops, provided student scholarships, and substantially helped the department purchase equipment.
Membership in the VAS is open to all. Please contact the Department Secretary, Ms. Jane Greene, at 256-782-5626 or jgreene@jsu.edu for membership details or further information.
