25% increase in traffic on TVAA's web site... woo hoo! In 2011 TVAA got bigger in every measurable way. Membership zoomed past 100 artists, the number of our sponsors tripled (as did the benefits they offered to artists), we mounted three fantastic exhibitions (that's three more than we had in 2010), and our website enjoyed an increase of 24.8 percent in page views.
We think it's pretty cool for local artists to have that kind of exposure and those kinds of opportunities. We are artists supporting artists! We do this by posting members' art related news, announcing workshops and shows, and by providing an easy way to display artwork online. Click here to see more of TVAA's accomplishments.
