| TVAA accomplishments Updated January 8, 2012 Two years ago the Members of the Treasure Valley Artists' Alliance crafted, voted on, and approved a mission statement in support of visual artists and our communities. Since then we’ve accomplished quite a lot together. As an artist, you are encouraged to get involved. Participation will make a difference for you by giving you connections with other local artists, opportunities to show, exposure for your art work, and discounts at art related businesses. The easiest way to participate is to show up at our events and meet other artists. Make friends, go to art openings, volunteer for a committee, and attend our social events. Your participation helps you and the artists' alliance to thrive.
