VCA is working with Beau Bernier Frank, Robert Nelson, and
Vakseen to get their art represented at the prestigious Aqua Art Miami art fair.

This will be VCA's first fair, and while being accepted into Aqua Art Miami was an accomplishment in itself, now we need to raise $15,000 in order to get these talented artists’ works to Miami so their art can be exposed to art lovers and art buyers from around the world.

With a little support from you, these innovative, up and coming artists will have a chance to explode into the mainstream art scene and make their mark on the world. Please help us get these artists’ unique works to Miami with a donation toward our $15,000 goal.

Your donation at any level will help us get there! We have incentives for donors starting at $10.
