Introducing VALA Eastside, a dynamic and vibrant arts organization nestled in Redmond, WA. As a 501c3 non-profit entity, VALA (Venues for Artists in the Local Area) is dedicated to fostering connections between artists, the community, and the art itself. VALA's mission is to create a thriving art space that invigorates the local cultural scene by showcasing the incredible work of artists in the Eastside community of Seattle.

Founded in 2010 by Jessica Kravitz and John Lambert, VALA works diligently to establish partnerships with local businesses and organizations to offer non-traditional venues for artists to exhibit their creations. At the heart of VALA's vision lies the desire to forge connections. They accomplish this by featuring local artists, who are deeply committed to engaging with the community, through events like the VALA Artist to Artist Series.

This engaging series provides a platform for artists to discuss their inspiration and creative process with fellow artists and members of the local community. In addition to fostering connections between artists, VALA also invites community members to actively participate in the artistic process through various programs and events. By facilitating these interactions, VALA creates an immersive and inclusive artistic experience for all.
