GVA has been offered a great opportunity. We now fill their beautiful community room/parlor with our art. If you choose, you can sell your work, or you can note that it is "NFS" (not for sale). The church will keep a mere 15% of all sales. Currently showing their work are John Jakobson, Jan Arbogast, Gene Sampson, and Wayne Pierce.
