Who We AreThe Visual Arts Association of Northwest Florida, Inc. (VAA) is a non-profit organization formed by those who love art to encourage, support, and promote activities dedicated to the enhancement of the visual arts.

What We Do
|
A major element of the VAA's mission is the granting of educational scholarships to deserving individuals pursuing careers in the visual arts. Since the first grant was awarded in 1999, art students have been recognized for their outstanding achievements with scholarships for postsecondary education totaling thousands of dollars.
The VAA was recently featured in the Pensacola News Journal for their years of educational support and scholarships to local artists. View full article here.
