As part of Town of Vegreville A Very Vegreville Christmas, Vegreville Visual Artists, (VVA) Very Festive Art Show and Sale was offered at Vegreville Centennial Library gymnasium on November 20.

The show featured 16 local artists who showcased every medium of art imaginable. Approximately, 160 people attended the popular art show.

Ingrid Schulz was a new Vegreville Visual Artist on the scene. Ingrid said she has been an artist all her life. “But I have only been part of VVA for a few months. Mostly I deal in fluid art which is like pour art and abstract forms of art. Also, I like to make jewelry, coasters, and of course, fluid art paintings.

I really enjoy belonging to VVA as it allowed me to come to this sale and be out in the community and showcase my art.

President of VVA, Marg Varga said VVA worked in partnership with Vegreville Tourism, Recreation and Culture Board and Vegreville and District Chamber of Commerce to host this event.

“Our objective is always to share visual arts with our community. We believe that art is uplifting. We want people to see the diverse local talent that is in Vegreville and area too. They appreciate the rocks, windows, and posts that we painted but this shows where it comes from and what else we do.”
