WHO WE ARE

​The Visual Arts Association of Northwest Florida, Inc. (VAA) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to assisting and encouraging arts education. Over its 20 year history it has served as a catalyst to stimulate and support the arts community in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Our main purposes include:

• encouraging appreciation and knowledge of the visual arts
• assisting and promoting the advancement of arts education through grant programs
• growing our funding annually to establish larger and more diverse educational grant opportunities for our community

WHAT WE DO

Since 1999, our collective grant-making aims to bring transformational changes for community arts education. Each donation is 100% tax deductible and goes directly towards grant opportunities aimed at impacting area art classroom funding, projects and artist development. By bringing together additional donors each year we strive to make a much greater impact on the quality of arts education in Northwest Florida.

The Board of Directors wishes to thank ALL donors for helping to sustain and improve our Association.
