The FSVAA needs your support. We have three wonderful galleries, Solano Town Center Gallery, the Village 360 Gallery, and the Collective GV Gallery all located in Fairfield, CA. In order for the Gallery to survive we need your help. As a member of the FSVAA, you are a key part of this organization and as a Group we can make this Gallery one of the best. When you joined our Group on the application, there was a list of Committees to join and now the time to serve has arrived.

​

Intake Committee:  Chairperson: Laura Klein, Register art during the intake at each show. Ensure all forms are complete, accurate, and tags and hanging wire are attached to each piece of art.

​

Marketing Committee:  Determine and implement the most effective and efficient method of promoting the Gallery.  This may include writing articles for newspapers, radio, magazines, collecting bios for members, etc.

​

Reception Committee:  Chairperson Jessica Robinson, coordinate and organize each reception. Solicit food and drink donations from local vendors, purchase food and drinks when necessary (FSVAA to reimburse you, there is a $50 budget for each reception), ensuring water, cups, etc. are provided, perform other miscellaneous tasks associated with reception like setup, take-down, and clean-up after each event. An additional item that needs to be done at time is to purchase a wine license from the City of Fairfield when needed.
