🌙 Art All Night in Dupont Circle

This Saturday, September 12, join us at Vika Gallery for Art All Night: "Vignettes — The Throwback."

As Dupont Circle comes alive after dark with art, galleries, and creative experiences, step into "Vignettes" by David Ibatta and take a journey through memory, nostalgia, and the moments that stay with us.

From childhood memories to familiar places and fleeting moments, "Vignettes" invites us to look back — and see how the past continues to shape the present.

Our September newsletter is here! 📰

As Vika Visual Arts Association continues to grow, we’re taking time to think intentionally about how we can continue building an organization that supports artists, creates meaningful access to the visual arts, and contributes to a thriving creative community in the DMV.

In this month’s newsletter, we’re excited to welcome Nicole Johnson to our Board of Directors and share more about the experience and perspective she brings to VVAA.

We’re also looking ahead to upcoming programming, including "Vignettes", Art All Night, artist development opportunities, and community programs.

Thank you to everyone who continues to be part of this journey. Your support helps us build something meaningful.
