About Us
The BCVAA was founded in early 2006 in order to organize like-minded artists and supporters.
Since our humble beginnings we have grown to 20+ members annually and have worked with
organizations such as the Boone County Public Library System (BCPL) and Community
Enrichment Through the Arts (CETA).

While our efforts in the community help define us, we are also known for sponsoring marketing
& exhibition opportunities for our members as we pursue our mission of promotion of our
member artists.
