Home - Visual Art Society Bryan-College Station

Thanks for stopping by the VAS website! I’m Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt, the president and webmaster; you can read my bio on our new “Our Artists” tab. This is a perk for all our members to showcase themselves and their art. All members are invited to participate!

And here we are in the middle of March 2025! Our Call for Art for our new show, “All Things Bright & Beautiful,” is up. The due date is April 7. This is our annual spring judged show, open to all artists. Think about submitting! We are not expecting to extend the deadline, so please submit on time.

Our “Lunch Togethers” have been very successful – we are getting to know our fellow members! Hopfully you can join us.

We are still looking for members who would like to get a little more involved by sitting on our board. We meet monthly on zoom. The primary position open is VP/Exhibits Chair who organizes and supervises displays or exhibits sponsored by the VASBCS (Perrine Winery and Brazos Center). Assists the President as needed and fulfills the duties of the President in the absence of the President. Jaimie Ladysh and I are sharing these duties now. This is not a difficult job – we change out the art twice a year at these locations. Jaimie and I would love to help you get started. You could also be a Member-At-Large, who has no set duties, but gets to be included. Email me at president@visualartsociety.org for more info.

Take care and keep doing & loving art!

Wendy :)

Lifelong Learning Opportunities

We help artists continue to grow their skills through:

multi-day workshops
one-day classes
free webinars

We are committed to helping our members be lifelong learners!

Community Events

The Aggieland Art trail was created from the vision and efforts of Visual Art Society members. Financial support from the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley and the cities of Bryan and College Station provided initial resources for the website at aggielandarttrail.com.

The Aggieland Art Trail spans the entire Bryan-College Station area, with stops showcasing art galleries, public art and installations in our community, including the Texas A&M University campus, and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

Shows & Exhibitions

We regularly hold art shows – a members only show each autumn and a judged show each spring as well as others. We also partner with several local businesses to allow our members to display their work inside the hotel, winery or event center. Our members participate in the First Saturday Art Markets at Degallery–they can show and sell art in our booth rather than paying for a booth site on their own.

Opportunities to Sell Art

Members can choose to participate in local art markets, exhibitions in local businesses and to make work available for purchase during art shows. Check the CALENDAR for the next opportunity.

College Scholarships

Each year, the Visual Art Society accepts applications for scholarships from local high school graduates who plan an art-related career path. LEARN MORE
