SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL 2010-

Another reason to Kick up your heels!

Did you know that over 11,000 visitors came through our doors at this year's "ArtRageous" Summer Arts Festival in June? 

Did you know that it took over 125 Volunteers of every age, capacity and skill to make it all happen by either giving time at a gate, in the office, Kid's Zone, Vendor Booth-sitters, setting up, cleaning up and everything in between to make this event happen?

Did you know that this event directly helps to keep the Arts Center alive through funding the basic operations of all that the Arts Center offers?

Did you know that ORCA was this year's major festival sponsor, along with our other sponsors Roseburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, United Traveler's, Lauren young Tire and Wal-Mart and Umpqua Valley Eye Associates all of which gave the festival additional and needed funding.

Did you know that Roseburg Country Club, Hobi Outdoor Equipment and Montieth Equipment loaned the Arts Center vehicles, including a flat bed, the "mule" and golf carts which made the physical work load not only bearable but doable?

Did you know that this year's event was the most successful and profitable in it's 42 year history thanks to all who gave - in one way or the other?

Thank you to all!

THE ANNUAL "UVAA OPEN" MEMBERSHIP SHOW IS HANGING IN THE BUILDING!

The annual membership show is now hanging throughout the building; a favorite of most!

Stop in and see what the members have been working on this past year, you are in for a treat.

This is the one time of the year that every member of UVAA gets to hang one piece of choice, not juried, no size restriction (as long as we can get it in the door), and no theme. 

Every wall holds something totally different, each pedestal unique in its offering. 

The Membership Show reception was alive with the excitement of the participants, family members, friends and just community members and thanks to

Scott and Carla Rutter the refreshments were once again a treat!

Start planning now for next year's piece, keep your membership current and know that your wall space will be waiting next year!
