Welcome

VAGA, the Visual Arts and Galleries Association is a professional membership body representing the interests of organisations and individuals concerned with the exhibition, interpretation and development of modern and contemporary visual art on behalf of the public.
The membership is broadly based, including galleries and independent exhibiting organisations, museums and collections, university and art school galleries, commissioning and production agencies and individual professionals.
VAGA believes that everyone is entitled to the opportunity to enjoy, encounter, engage with and participate in the visual arts.
VAGA promotes:
- innovation, creativity and knowledge through the work and ideas of contemporary visual artists and through the membership seeks to:
- remove intellectual, social and physical barriers to the enjoyment and understanding of the visual arts
- develop the potential for education, lifelong learning and personal development through the visual arts
- further visual arts education
- broaden audiences and improve the quality of their experience
To find out more about the range of work and achievements of the contemporary visual arts sector, see the full list of VAGA members available on the main VAGA site, where links take you to the websites of individual members.
For the latest news and issues of concern visit the main VAGA site News & Issues page.
VAGA works in partnership and shares knowledge with visual arts and cultural bodies, funding and development agencies and independent trusts and foundations across the cultural and education sectors. For further information see the main VAGA website: http://www.vaga.co.uk.
VAGA was founded in 1991. An annually elected Executive Committee manages the Association, which is run by an Executive Director and staff. VAGA is funded by its membership and the Arts Council of England.
