VCA welcomes VIVA's 8th Annual Member Show into its gallery. This year's show "Our Island, Our Home" celebrates the deep connections that define our sense of belonging on Vashon Island. In this exhibition, Vashon artists explore the meaning of home through relationships—with family, friends, community, and the land and sea. It reflects the close-knit spirit of island life and what it means to live, nurture, and share the place we love. Through diverse artistic expressions, they honor the bonds that sustain us, the shared moments that define us, and the resilience that holds us together.
