I can’t say enough what a great experience it’s been to be a part of VisArts. The whole VisArts team is fabulous – warm, accommodating, and professional. They’ve done so much to help me realize my work. Artists need time and space to experiment, which is rare and incredibly valuable. VisArts gives me both, along with financial, installation, marketing, publicity, and programming support. That means I can get my work out into the world. — Liz Lessner, VisArts Studio Fellow

The program is a community of artists based on generosity, respect, and creativity and encourages interaction, critical dialogue, and creative exploration.
All artists who have studios at VisArts participate and engage the public through exhibitions, open studios, and artist talks.
