June Monthly Meeting - June 15 

No Art of the Month contest in June!
During the June meeting we will be voting on and installing the new board for our 2022-2023 year.

There will also be reports and details on several other exciting events and projects:
  • MVAL Anniversary Exhibit. “Color Comfort”, which will be taking place on-line next fall.
  • Our successful Scholarship Program and Auction.
  • Report on the return of Masters in the Park.
  • News about resuming in-person meetings as well as continuing the Zoom option.
  • The many workshops being planned. The Zoom option has made it possible to host teachers from around the world and people from all across the country have been able to participate.

2021-22 Scholarship / Grant Recipients

This year Mid Valley Arts League awarded two scholarships of $500 each, and three grants to schools of $1,000 each. MVAL stepped up again this year in spite of not collecting funds at our monthly meetings. Each school was overjoyed with the amounts provided and the students were thrilled as well.

Virtual General Meetings!!

Check Your Email!!
The MVAL Board of Directors has decided that in order to continue to be with each other and continue to learn during these trying times of COVID, we will take the big leap into the virtual world of ZOOM. Before the meeting date, Julie Crouch will send an email blast to all MVAL members with a Zoom invitation for the general meetings going forward. 

The email will give instructions on how to join the Zoom meeting with your device of choice (computer, iPad or smartphone).
